Oh you spoiled little thing. Working in retail only makes you want to finish school, so that you NEVER have to work in retail again. I did it for three years. But you wanna go the easy way; I was gonna throw myself down a flight of stairs by the time I was done with it.
But yes, if you still have free time (ie. you're pullin' 20 hours a week), then go for a more fun, low-paying job and suppliment your income with translating. After all, we KNOW you're good, and you can still make good money with it.
And WTF Mr.C, that was a low trick. Hell, I'D like to go to Japan whenever I like, and I'm sure that other people would too. But honestly, to be pullin' in $200 a week would require at least $6.50 in pay and a nice 40-hour workweek ($260 minus all the taxes). He wasn't expecting that in the first place, was he? It's unrealistic at best.
This week, try to exhause all your options outside of retail. But within the next week or two, if there are no significant leads, you'll have to apply to at least ONE store to appease the parentals.
Two weeks. In just two weeks, I'll have my first paycheck, and I can help ya out, if ya need it. ♥
