LIST OF NONJOBS:

SECURITY OFFICER:

-Shifts: Any (Generally 3rd)

-Average Hours Worked: 0-1 hours

-Hourly: $13-$17

-Overtime: Plentiful

-Qualifications: None

-Summary: At many post you are totally isolated at night in closed facility. At most, you may do hourly or bi-hourly rounds where you walk around for a few minutes to check if the site is secure (or not). You are usually allowed and even encouraged to bring a laptop, since you're being payed just be at the site as a deterrent.

The Security Officer Motto is "Observe and Report". In other words, you are only expected to call the police and are actively discouraged from intervening with trespassers (unless you are armed, but that would defeat the purpose). Keep in mind that, as far as I know, you don't have any more legal authority than a regular citizen.

The best shifts are typically third, since no one will be around. However, I've worked second shifts at abandoned buildings where no one is around and I can still effectively sit in a guard shack and do whatever I want.

Security is probably the supreme NonJob, being the work involved is either minimal or even non-existant (outside of being present at the site).

GYM FRONT DESK:

-Shifts: Any (best if 3rd)

-Average Hours Worked: 1 hour

-Hourly: $15/hr

-Overtime: Yes

-Qualifications: No

-Job Summary: Greet People at Front Desk, Help out if Badge Scanner stops working, hand out towels, answer guests questions if any. Gym is a dead zone from 9pm to 3am.

LIFEGUARD:

-Shifts: Any (earliest usually 5am, latest 10m)

-Average Hours Worked: Any

-Hourly Pay Rate: $15/hr.

-Opportunity for Overtime: NA

-Necessary Qualifications: Lifeguard certification

-Job Summary: Obviously, you absolutely need to pay attention while there's people in the water! That being said, I've found that by working in some locations (YMCA pools, apartment complex pools for sure) you can end up with times of the day and season where no one shows up, but you still need to be there in case someone does. I spent much of my college days getting paid to read, study for exams, etc.!
