The question, “What jobs are there in Alliance?” has echoed throughout the school in the last few months so I decided to find the answer to this question!
The first place I looked into was Dairy Queen. DQ is one of the most popular places for high school students to work due to them hiring students 14 or older. It’s a great work environment and has flexible hours that work with your schedule. It’s a popular place in our small town and has lots of people eating there daily. Plus, if you just need to get some beginner work experience, it could provide you with a great opportunity for that!
Another place that I looked into was Runza’s, which hires people aged 14 and up! Runza’s is a Nebraska-based company and has many great opportunities for younger high school students. Just like Dairy Queen, if you need a job to get your foot in the door, then Runza is the place for you! They have really flexible hours and promote you when it is deserved. I highly recommend Runza’s if you need a place that works with your schedule!
A really popular job in town that is always looking for workers is BNSF. BNSF is the railroad company and holds most jobs in our town. They higher 18 and up but it isn’t that popular for high school students. BNSF is one of the best-paying jobs in Alliance and you only need a high-school diploma to work there. The good pay does come at a price though, you will be working a lot of hours and it could be a very dangerous and difficult job. However, if you can overcome these difficulties it is one of the best jobs in Alliance and can be extremely good for your future. There are many opportunities at BNSF to move up the chain and become one of the highest-paid workers in all of Alliance.
The final job is being a ranch hand. Being a ranch hand is no easy task and doesn’t always guarantee good pay. The biggest benefit of being a ranch hand is that you gain much-needed experience. You will learn how to work with animals, get your hands dirty and do physical work that is more than just cleaning dishes. Being a ranch hand isn’t a job everybody will opt for but it is still a job that you can get quite easily in the Alliance area.
These are just a few of the many choices in Alliance, there are many more opportunities here and in the surrounding area. I can only hope that this helped you and that you may even look into working at one of these places!
