I have been trying to get a job flipping burgers but I am over qualified or have no restaurant experience

I don't know how the situation is now, when we actually have unemployment, but when I went to college, the burger places payed very decently (more than 16$/hour) because it was so difficult to get anybody to work there. The entire restaurant industry in Oslo spoke Swedish.

anyone else plant trees for a living in University?

When I was in school, during communism, children were taken to site next to copper works to plant trees. Of course there were no filters installed so every year we came and have to start over :-) When it was raining acidic rain was burning thru girls stockings so I guess no living organism could survive there :-(

From June to August 1971 during school break, I was 16, my first job I worked in a Christmas wrapping paper factory. Basically I was simply stacking hundreds of boxes in a warehouse all day everyday. I can't remember too well... I was paid around a dollar an hour. Denis

That is really good training ground for you. Working for Wendy's is a good start for a new training in the field of customer service. There are students who work and at the same time study at their own pace.

I worked at Wendy's in 1986 for $3-something. No flipping burger for me! I had to work the sandwich line.

Oh really, that is good for you, that could try to work at Wendy's that you could be able to be trained. The best training that you could be experiences. A lot of students now having a working student at the fast food restaurant like Wendy's and McDonald, just to support their studies. www.computerseo.com

Wow, personalized spam. What wil they think of next...

First, I am not native English speaker so I do not understand all nuances of this language. Why flipping burgers seems to be the worst insult here. "You are lousy photographer you should be flipping burgers instead". My mom always said to me that it's not shame to do any work.
Unlike what's been said above, my take on 'flipping burgers for a living' is that it's a hot, sticky, sweaty, stressful job with zero respect, which leaves your hair and clothes (under the naff uniform) stinky every day, yet pays peanuts.

Yes, Sue's right. It is usually used to compare with something same that is not so fantastic too.
Like Racephoto , sub 25 cents per download? I prefer to flip burgers. But now in many places you don't flip burgers,
you busk in the street sing songs with your guitar and make more money than people in the office .
