I got hired by the Coffee Bar in the student union, but I'll only be getting five hours a week mostly -- Saturday mornings 11:30 to 4:30 -- with maybe the occasional Tuesday thrown in. It's better than nothing... but apparently I'm supposed to buy a specific uniform, and damn if it won't take like two months of paychecks at 5 hours a week, $8.25 an hour. The hourly wage is the bright side. Haha.
I also opened an account with Chevy Chase, but the bank sucks. In fact, my bank just rocks, and others can't really compare. My bank pays interest on checking if you keep a certain minimum balance, pays back a certain percentage of the debit purchases I make each month, pays back a certain amount of the ATM fees other banks charge me at the end of the month, doesn't charge me to use my debit card (wtf, Chevy Chase?), and... apparently this isn't common... allows me to open up other savings accounts as I wish. My checking is overdraft protected by my savings... and if I have a scanner I can deposit checks online... there's just so much stuff I can do. I only got Chevy Chase because my bank happens to be in Texas with no physical locations here, so I need somewhere I can actually go in and deposit a check since I don't have a scanner.
I love USAA.
And I have a lot of work to do. x_x;
