Man, I could give you a sh!tload of recommendations, but let's narrow it down a bit. First of all, what's your major? Second, what is the minimum dollar amount you have in mind from a "good job"? Also, what type of work are you willing to do? Are you strictly white collar, or is blue collar work something you will willing to do temporarily? Do you know any type of trade, or enjoy doing certain things?

I'll also list a few things that pay relatively well and require little or no experience. All you have to do is interview relatively well.

-A sales person at Nordstrom (they'll work with your schedule)
-A sales person at Saks 5th Avenue (Also will work with your schedule)
-A sales person at Neiman Marcos
-A sales person at Barney's
-A sales person at Bloomingdales
-A forklift operator at Lowes/Home Depot (get certified first)
The retail stores listed will give you a decent commission rate. On average, you'll get about $14-$16 per hour. If you're a hustler you'll get $18+ I know a few that were making $75k per year. One thing you must know, don't worry about hurting people's feelings or stepping on toes. All the sales people are extremely cut-throat and will swindle customers from you, so you'd better do it to them first. Oh, and you must own a suit and tie. Very important, but it's not necessary to spend a ton of money on one. Just as long as it's fitted. The home Depot/ Lowes route is decent, but you'll likely only make at best, $16.00 per hour. The first options are nice, because you'll be working with a bunch of clean cut guys and attractive girls. As long as you can shave, get a hair cut and smell nice, they'll like you. Oh, be energetic and smile a lot. Be very (overly) nice. The retail jobs also make you do what I like to call an "honesty test". Lie through your teeth the entire way through it. For instance, if they give you a question that asks "Have you ever taken any office supplies home with you?" Say no. Just B.S. your way through it.

I have other excellent jobs in mind as well, just let me know a little more about what you prefer and I'll let you know how to get in.
