Im going to be a full time student and was thinking of working...20 hours a week. So i wanted work at a hospital part time as a patient transporter. How does that work? are hospital hours flexible? Would it be reasonable to work from 5-11 on some days and a different time on weekends or something? I would love to work in a hospital if possible. What are some other good jobs?

I am currently in school for physical therapy and I was interested in finding a job at a hospital. I know that there are jobs in hospitals that don't require a degree but I cannot seem to find any. Jobs such as patient transporting or even jobs working in the cafes. I look at job listings for hospitals but NEVER see these things. Does anyone have any tips as to how I can pursue such positions?

I'm a teen with one more year to go at high school, then am shipping off to med-school. I'll get as full a scholarship as I can for as long as I can, to save money, but most scholarships don't let you work while on them, so they know you're studying. However if I do survive scholarships and student loans, when I graduate from med-school as a G.P. (my chosen career) I'll be about 30. If I get as many scholarships as possible, I'll be 30 with no work experience, only training. Plus to get the scholarships, work experience would look good. So work in a hospital would be good for me. What kind of job could a teen apply for in a hospital which would look good on my application for scholarships? I know that, I have looked up the requirements. I was asking more as something to help me get the initial scholarship, that comment was more a humourous thought.

Currently, I've been working at a hospital the past 7 years making sh*t. All I do is transporter patients and dispatch the transporters making just enough to pay bills with my girlfriend and live in a sh*thole apartment with her. I need a real job with better pay. I don't mind taking pictures of people and stuff or working with computers. I'm just terrible at math. Any recommendations? What are the qualifications for a photographer or computer repairer?
