Are warehouse jobs good jobs while going to college?
Asked by C C
19 yr. old male. Warehouse jobs seem to pay fairly decent. Are hey extremely difficult or what? Would it be good to work at such a job while going to community college?

Best Answer:
My best friend has been doing warehouse work for a while, though not while going to school (I have been trying to convince him to do so for years). As I understand it, the work is more physically challenging than mentally. You may be running not stop for your whole shift. (The plus side is that this could counteract the tendency for full time workers to gain weight while in school - I put on about 30 lbs over 3 yrs getting my batchelor's). As for decent pay and work that you don't have to think about when you leave at the end of the day, I think this would be good. However, pay isn't the only thing to consider while in school. When you get done, they will be looking for the degree AND experience, so you may want to find something entry level that jives with your major. I was an Info Systems major and got a job pulling network cable. Now I work as a network engineer using both (and making a lot more than some classmates that are doing entry level help desk right now). When looking for a job, ask yourself what you can learn that will apply to your future plans.
