SALES!!\n You already have sales experience- if you were a server in the restaurant, you should know how to be friendly and make people feel like they are being taken care of...\n\nNOT retail sales-\n\nhow about a sales position for a magazine, or a food company, or here's a good one- a huge catering company- you already have food handling experience, use the skills that you have aquired. oh, this is great too, a POS (point of sales) computer touch screen system to restaurants (like micros or restaurant manager)\n\nand many sales positions you can make your own hours, or at least have flexible hours. you should believe in what you are selling, and it should be something that you are excited about, that will make you more successful. some salespeople make mad money, like six figures or even more, it all depends on what you are selling. and some places offer paid training.\n\ngood luck!

Fast food is a good job, it's hard work trust me! I work at a small fast food place. It really helped me decide that i want to go on w/ my education. Also I recommend do NOT work for your parents because they will work you harder than someone you don't know and they will take your work performance out on you as well. Waitressing/ waitering is a good job also. Hosting is good too if u aren't old enough to waitress. Hope this helps! And good luck w/ the job hunting!

There are many businesses who started with so little yet grew to become good income vehicles down the road. But a restaurant is not one of them. A restaurant business cannot be started with little capital, unfortunately.\n\nFrom the article "How to Start a Business with Little Cash" www.powerhomebiz.com/vol30/nocash.htm  here are some tips on how you can start a business and earn more money even if you are short of cash today:\n\n1. Find a business that you can start for little money (e.g. instead of a restaurant, think of something you can start with your current budget)\n\n2. Consider your time and effort - if you have little cash, you may have to work harder for the money because you will have no resource to outsource or employ others to do certain tasks for you; or you have no money to buy equipment so you can only do certain things the long way\n\n3. Get your creative juices flowing. With no money, the only thing you have is your imagination. Be creative and find ways to get things done \n\n4. Be prepared to do all the work yourself - from doing your business plan, finding financing, writing emails, shipping and handling, marketing or whatever processes your business requires. \n\n5. Be prepared to invite investors - you may need financing help from someone down the road so be prepared to share some of the pie. \n\nI suggest you start learning about the restaurant business. Here are some recommended books:\n\nStarting a Small Restaurant, Revised by Daniel Miller \nComplete Idiot's Guide to Starting a Restaurant, 2E (The Complete Idiot's Guide) by Howard Cannon\nEverything Guide to Starting And Running a Restaurant: Secrets to a Successful Business! (Everything: Business and Personal Finance) by Ronald Lee Restaurateur and Ronald Lee\nOpening a Restaurant or Other Food Business Starter Kit: How to Prepare a Restaurant Business Plan and Feasibility Study by Sharon Fullen\n\nYou may also want to start reading about some business plans on the restaurant business. Here are some of them:\n\nhttp://www.virtualrestaurant.com/sample.htm\nhttp://www.bplans.com/spv/3259/\nhttp://www.bplans.com/spv/3228

I would scrap those and get a job as a waiter/waitress somewhere.  There are times that it's a crap job but if don't take it too seriously and you work at a well established restuarant, one that you know will be busy regularly then you'll make far more money than you would at any of the aforementioned places.  All of those will most likely start you off at minimum wage.  If you work as a waiter/waitress and you're good at it, you can probably make almost twice minimum wage...more if you're lucky.  Plus, the hours are usually shorter and it's a pretty easy gig.

If you have a place to stay, you need to get a job immediately. Don't be picky. You can change later but you need cash. Restaurants need waiters and you can get good tips ant the better ones. Make sure you are near public transportation. The best advice I can give you is to get a higher education. You sound like an intelligent person. Go to school evenings and week-ends to get your degree. A degree will make it possible for you to have higher earnings and a job you will enjoy. Good luck.

have you ever worked in a restaurant? if not, then you should absolutely not leave your regular job until you have worked in one for at least a year. you should work in the front end (service, cashier, bartender, host) AND the back end (dishwasher, prep cook, bookkeeper) until you really understand how it works and what it takes to make it work well. do this WHILE you still have your regular job - many people find they hate working in restaurants once they have the chance.\n\nthe only people who are successful running restaurants are the people who want to be in a restaurant from 6am to midnight every day for as long as they own that restaurant. or they buy a super expensive franchise.

I think a good field for you would be Marketing.\nMarketing is a field that requires immense creativity and originality that you artistic background will give you. \n\nThey're paid pretty well too.

I mean this in the nicest way possible. If you have to ask these questions, you are NO WHERE near ready to open a restaurant. Operating a restaurant successfully is one of the most difficult tasks demanded of any business owner. Restaurants are warehouses, manufacturers, retailers, deliverers and services. They incorporate every facet of every industry, all into one high traffic, low ticket businesses.\n\nUntil someone else is willing to pay you to open restaurants for them, you're not ready to open one.\n\nOnce again, not trying to be mean, I just thought I'd toss a little reality at you.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com\nbodell1@cox.net\n(316) 390-6598\n\nFree initial consultations

I understand McDonalds has a fast track fry-cook career path for Art History majors. Try engineering!

Instead of trying to find a job to work during the week, what about just working weekends.  Retail and Restaurants/Bars would be a good place to make some money.  If you need quick money I'd look into a job as a food server at a decent restaurant or cocktail waitress at a bar.  Cash every time you work.  And the hours are usually pretty flexible.
