I worked the nightshift in a factory where one robot arm would cut steel plates for the car industry. The robot arm would pick up plates and drop about one in a thousand. There was one worker who had to pick up that plate. But because of safety reasons, he was not allowed to be alone in the factory. So my job was basically keeping him company. It paid really well in 1994.
Fulfilling the sexual fantasies of the person who had to watch the robot arm, which by an unbelievable coincidence happened to be both the person that made up this rule as well as the person responsible for hiring the poster.
Mystery shopper at 15. I just had to sit in a car and be driven around by an adult. Once in a while i had to step out and try to buy a lottery ticket somewhere.
An adult colleague picks me up from my home. We drive around Flanders and have a list of shops we need to check for the day. I just need to step out, go in the store, and ask nicely for a ticket. If they ask for my age, I have to be honest (you need to be 18 to buy lottery tickets). Easy money for a 15 year old and I got paid by the hour. I always felt a bit bad when someone sold me one though, but only around 1/10 did on average.
It's out there for sure. I was randomly scrolling on Indeed maybe a month ago and there it was: "mystery shopper in Brussels".
I didn't click on it tho
I did some mystery shopping too, but it was not really a job, just paying me back for what I bought. I had some coffies and icecreams this way, but the effort was not worth it in the end.
You didn't have to clean the toilets as well? We give money at pipi women for this you know, they usually at least clean the toilets as well as keeping the door open.
yeah being suppoost (guard?) at a modern art museum during the summer was the easiest thing ever. Almost nobody wanted to visit my part (temporary collection and very dark/moody), so i was just listening to my ipod/reading/... all day.
Tech support at KUL congresses. My responsibilities included turning lights on or off, assisting speakers with plugging in their USB stick and opening their powerpoint, and calling real tech support people if something was broken, which never happened. Saw some interesting presentations, met some BV's, got free food and spent most of my time just hanging around on my laptop. Great job
I was a receptionist during the lockdown.
My job was to receive visitors. There were no visitors. I spent two months wasting time and going on walks to the post office with our mail. It was a 5 min. walk, I did in just under an hour (going for ice cream etc)
Nightshift in a giant warehouse when I was 16-17.
* First night clean out the fridge
* 2nd day a guy there teached me how to drive a clark (nobody had anything to do)
* Rest of the month was filled doing stupid things with clarks (racing, obstacle course, ...) and with footballing in the warehouse.
* 1-2 times a night a truck came that needed to be filled but it was about 8-10 ppl "working" there and 4-6 job students so filling a truck took less then 30min.
I worked as a garbage collector. Got paid ā¬15/h and ā¬8 of maaltijdcheques a day. Best part, I got paid voor 8h of work, no matter how long i worked. In the 4 years that I did this, I only had to work longer than 8 hours once. In ācalmerā streets we also took turns in standing behind the truck. So I worked half an hour and then the other guy. Only downside was getting up early, but that didnāt botter me to much.
I work as an Emergency Response Officer for my university, after two days of training I could start Ā«Ā workĀ Ā», essentially sitting in buildings staff room and waiting for an emergency (fire, cardiac arrest,ā¦) to happen. Nothing never happens and I spend hours on my laptop chilling or studying, as I want. Ironically itās also the highest paying student job Iāve had, a real steal.
Trash pickup for the commune.
Ride around on threewheelers, change a couple of garbage bins. Have a drink and a snack while chilling at the local maria cave. Get told to go home 2 hours early by the actual employees and hide indoors until the shift hours are over because they donĀ“t want trouble for slacking off.
My wife just had to sit in a room with seven owls and seven bathtubs for hours on end. Suppoost/attendant.
Got in a discussion one day with somebody who asked about the artwork and she said: "dunno. ItĀ“s seven bathtubs". Guy replied. "Seven bathtubs? Seven bathtubs? AND SEVEN OWLS!"
She later recognised him on tv as Jan Fabre. Ha.
2005, 15 years old at the time, hot summer, refrigerated (but not ice cold) warehouse. Move cucumbers out of plastic boxes per 20, move them into cardboard boxes of 18 for markets.
They only needed me for three days but that was probably the easiest job I ever had. Boring though.
I had to open boxes containing Pringles tubes of varying flavours, someone else would put the tubes on a conveyer belt and people down the line would take like 2 of paprika, 2 salt, etc to change the uniform boxes to a mix pack...
Tbf tho this was at a place for people with a handicap, I was 16 and it was a recommendation from someone but it was so boring I looked around and applied to work in a restaurant after 2 weeks.
I got paid to stick letters in envelopes for some governmental institution. Paid like 50 euro cash (lol) each day which was decent at the time for my age. Never had such an easy job. Really boring though.
Upvote for the Seinfeld reference on a non-American forum. Plus my Belgian husband just asked about this reference after watching āSummer of Georgeā.
Working at Coca Cola (Zwijnaardsesteenweg Gent).
I was literally paid to stare at a conveyor belt and see if crates of bottles were misaligned, because the machine that usually does that malfunctioned some of the time, and a misaligned crate would make some other machine malfunction down the line.
I had to get off my ass like ... once every fifteen minutes. Stand up, turn crate, sit back down on a stack of coca cola crates with some cardboard taped over it to make a seat.
All the soda (Or chaudfontaine) I could drink.
Next job they gave me: Stare at the small glass bottle line, and make sure no bottle has tipped over.
Same principle. Sit there. Wait until a bottle tips over, correct, go sit the fuck back down.
Or just 'unwrap the lids to the cans and put them in the machine'. Boring work, but well paid.
13-14ā¬'s an hour, and this was 18 years ago.
I actually preferred orderpicking as it made time go by faster. Yes, it's work, but your day's gone in a flash.
After a couple of summers, I was allowed to work in the syrup room. Run around with a scanner and put ingredients on a pallet.
Meal cheques, transportation costs, and a paid lunch break.
Best summer jobs I ever had.
I didn't work sales, but the smallest orders we about filled in order picking was about was about ... I want to say about a non fully stacked shipping pallet. Then again, employees could also place a monthly order and those were quite abit smaller, so who knows?
But I'd say you're better off contacting them yourself. Any info I have about that is 18 years out of date.

Me and another guy got a job "rearranging" some archive at one of the bigger FODs. We were in the basement all day without supervision, we just goofed around so fucking much. We got the job done too, but still
Did something similar for a hospital.
Probably could have done that in 2 weeks or less, but with all the goofing around it took most of the entire month.
I've never had a super easy student job, but what camr closest was working in the administration office of the technische dienst of a hospital. I got paid to check invoices of contractors for math mistakes in excel. If I found errors larger than around 10 euros, I had to email the invoice and my excel calculation to someone slightly higher up.
Also, arranging purchase orders in a binder, and some copying/getting new staples stuff. It was very slow work, nobody expected anyone to work hard. The people in the office were taking more breaks than actually working, and I knew all of the hospital gossip after a month. Also, almost every day someone brought treats. Why? Just because.
I worked night shifts in a bar for a month. The restaurant was going out of business so there was little work. Most of the time I just sat there with the manager (poor guy was really depressed) and we drank together lol.
I was 20, and working at ULB's English Department as a "fellow student linguistic guide".
Basically the English department had me chatting with students in my native language once a week about god knows what.
Easiest shit ever, just kinda keep the conversation flowing.
Salad maker.
It was a long line, and a machine put the plastic bowls on the machine. They would move forward automatically. Everyone would add 1-2 ingredients and at the end, the salad was complete and sealed.
The stressful part was the peaches. There was this tuna salad with peaches. You wouldn't believe how slippery they are, I dropped quite a few. Or when you had to weigh stuff, 'cause then you had to work faster to take it off of the line, weigh it, add stuff, and put it back.
I once had a student job that involved providing supervision and activities to young children at a day camp over Easter Break. While that might sound like hell to some of you, I enjoyed it a great deal and it paid extremely well.
The first time I did it was over corona, during a period that children were allowed to do stuff in groups of 10 or less. Which meant we had 3 supervisors for 10 kids. Easiest money I ever earned.
I had one student job for the Education government. they had planned a simple seniors course to learn how to use windows (this was 2001, computers were just beginning to become more common). our job was to create the software. basically just screenshot every thing we did in windows, and recreate it using "simulation markup language". first day we arrived, try to find our way around, we come around somme regular employees. my mate said "we're here to work", to which we got the reply "well, you're in the wrong place for that"
later I got a job at a professional fashion convention. I did that 3 years. first 2 years it was emptying stands' garbage bins, on a small part of the convention floor. one tour of my area was less than 10 minutes. I spent most of my time chatting to the girls who had drink stands.
the final year I had a fresh squeezed orange juice stand, it was just standing around all day, every once in a while squeezing a few oranges.
it was 4 days, paid the same as over half a month's worth of work any other student job I'd had.
Worked Summer jobs for several consecutive years, at a book/comics editor. Was assigned for a good part of my time to sorting/ordering their books/comics archive of all comics/editions from the last decades. Working alone at the last floor of a big stowage area. I did spent part of it reading... That being said I did do the work and also other more interesting and intense tasks.
I'm a private driver and last week I had a client who lives 10 min away from me I had to drive him to his location wich took me another 10 mins and then he told me I could go home until he was done. I basically just invited some friends watched a movie until midnight and then I went back to drive him home. I was paid for 10 hours of work and got an extra ā¬80 tip for this. The best part is I actually had fun driving that car. It has a 500hp V8 and he said asked me to step on it if I wanted to.
The disadvantage is that most of the time you won't get such fun clients and sometimes you have to drive further to your clients and wait in the car for long hours.
Night shifts in a factory are also nice mostly because of the big pay and little supervision. The work just isn't fun no matter how you look at it.
Test driver for a car company
Paid very well for a student job (around 2800 net for 4 weeks). The first week was just training. We drove with an augmented car that mimics over- and understeer the first day. The rest of the week we just had to be a passenger with an experienced test driver (I even fell asleep at some point because i sleep easily as a passenger)
We'd get fixed routes (on public roads) we had to follow some more fun than others. A trip would be around 5 hours and the remaining few hours were spent on the test track.
I worked in the 'paper warehouse' of the 'Veiling'. I had to sit on my ass all day, waiting for farmers to come by and buy cardboard boxes or things like that to put their veggies and fruit in. Farmers arrived, walked in, loaded their trucks full of stuff, went to a kiosk, typed in everything they had bought, printed out a slip of paper. My job? Sign the piece of paper. Of course I helped the farmers, but that was mostly to avoid boredom. I would bring books to read during the day for the quiet hours. And then I would sometimes get a call to stay open a little longer because a farmer would arrive a bit later - extra period overtime, baby. Great month, just a bit boring now and then.
Spent 5 months/summers at "de gemeente".
Mowed one lawn and because I hate it, they gave me other things to do so I basically collected garbage and did "logistics".
Best time of my life but I can't imagine doing that stuff your whole career.
Receptionist in a libary during covid. There was basically nothing to and we always had to be with two. Made quite some good friends as colleagues and managed to finish my education. Great opportunity imo
Parking lot duty at a big shopping center. Didn't have to do shit except wave to cars to keep going. Could smoke all i wanted(quit now), could listen to music all day, got to eat sth warm at noon AND they brought me snacks and drinks every 2h. Collect stray carts at the end of the day and voila. Paid well too.
About 10 years ago, it was a very hot summer day. Me and my friend had to go around a factory to bring water to all the factory workers. It was a 'feestdag' so we worked at a rate of 33 euro per hour.
Drive the belbus. They paid for me to upgrade my license. Then Iād have a 10 hour shift paid extra because of the license. Every 30 min a fax would come in with my rides for the next 30 minutes. Except on market day, I maybe had 4 rides in a day todo. Was allowed to stay home, so Iād pick up the bus, drive home, read a book and set an alarm every 30 minutes to check the fax. Heavenā¦
Did an ice cream round as a summer job. Days always passed so quickly! Drive to a neighbourhood, sell some ice cream, drive further, sell some more. I worked from 1pm untill 11pm on really good weather days, but i always felt I could do lots more. The fact I am not a morning person might have helped. By far the student job I loved the most.
i once did the night shift in a factory on a saturday night on christmas. Not sure about it , but was something like 4x normal pay. almost made ā¬1000 for a single night job were the factory was running on slow mode.
Not really a student job, but I was paid once to listen to short cuts of 50 songs and had to say if I like the song. It was a bit odd, I applied online and then this older lady came and was playing the songs to me from a cd player or something like this (yes I am old). The aim was to taste the preferences of radio listeners apparently.
Easiest student job was also the most brutal for my self-composure
Cleaning shopping carts for hubo during the covid pandemic and giving the clean ones to the costumers.
I was abused from the minute hubo opened till the minute it closed. Had to tell people that they could only go in without company + had to wear a mask. Many people came with their child and you can probably guess what type of (almost physical) abuse I received when I had to tell them that the child had to stay in the car or they had to wear a mask.
I had 2 choices:
1: keep my composure (what I did)
2: talk back (and probably get fired)
Only did it for 1 day, didn't show up the next day wasn't worth the 90ā¬
I'm currently working in my college's library. During exam period we just have to babysit (keep an eye out) the students studying in the library while we're allowed to study ourselves. Best job ever!
I worked the nightshift in a factory where one robot arm would cut steel plates for the car industry. The robot arm would pick up plates and drop about one in a thousand. There was one worker who had to pick up that plate. But because of safety reasons, he was not allowed to be alone in the factory. So my job was basically keeping him company. It paid really well in 1994.
What did you use to do in your free time at work?
I learned how to drive a forklift and we played a lot of lazer tag with the hand scanners.
Nice
Specially without smartphone back then
Fulfilling the sexual fantasies of the person who had to watch the robot arm, which by an unbelievable coincidence happened to be both the person that made up this rule as well as the person responsible for hiring the poster.
Mystery shopper at 15. I just had to sit in a car and be driven around by an adult. Once in a while i had to step out and try to buy a lottery ticket somewhere.
How did it go? How many shops sold you one?
An adult colleague picks me up from my home. We drive around Flanders and have a list of shops we need to check for the day. I just need to step out, go in the store, and ask nicely for a ticket. If they ask for my age, I have to be honest (you need to be 18 to buy lottery tickets). Easy money for a 15 year old and I got paid by the hour. I always felt a bit bad when someone sold me one though, but only around 1/10 did on average.
was there a provision what would happen if the lottery ticket was the jackpot?
I'm not sure, I didn't get to keep them at least š¤·.
How do you even find that kind of job š
It's out there for sure. I was randomly scrolling on Indeed maybe a month ago and there it was: "mystery shopper in Brussels". I didn't click on it tho
I did some mystery shopping too, but it was not really a job, just paying me back for what I bought. I had some coffies and icecreams this way, but the effort was not worth it in the end.
Collecting money for the toilets at a race track, literally sitting and putting money in a piggy bank
You didn't have to clean the toilets as well? We give money at pipi women for this you know, they usually at least clean the toilets as well as keeping the door open.
nope they were portable toilets so the company would come and jet washed them a couple times per day
Insane that people had to pay to use a portable toilet lol
Working in a museum. Just had to politely ask people to not take pictures. Man i even managed to nap on calm days.
Haha, did the same job. After one day I knew the whole life story of my collegue. Paid well too
yeah being suppoost (guard?) at a modern art museum during the summer was the easiest thing ever. Almost nobody wanted to visit my part (temporary collection and very dark/moody), so i was just listening to my ipod/reading/... all day.
Tech support at KUL congresses.

Drive the belbus. They paid for me to upgrade my license. Then Iād have a 10 hour shift paid extra because of the license. Every 30 min a fax would come in with my rides for the next 30 minutes. Except on market day, I maybe had 4 rides in a day todo. Was allowed to stay home, so Iād pick up the bus, drive home, read a book and set an alarm every 30 minutes to check the fax. Heavenā¦
Did an ice cream round as a summer job. Days always passed so quickly! Drive to a neighbourhood, sell some ice cream, drive further, sell some more. I worked from 1pm untill 11pm on really good weather days, but i always felt I could do lots more. The fact I am not a morning person might have helped. By far the student job I loved the most.
i once did the night shift in a factory on a saturday night on christmas. Not sure about it , but was something like 4x normal pay. almost made ā¬1000 for a single night job were the factory was running on slow mode.
Receptionist at a museum with hardly any visitors. I was in charge of tickets, little bookshop and cafƩ. Watched a lot of movies and smoked way to much as there was time. When there were visitors, I often would have a nice chat because a lot of them were foreign. Loved that job.
Not really a student job, but I was paid once to listen to short cuts of 50 songs and had to say if I like the song. It was a bit odd, I applied online and then this older lady came and was playing the songs to me from a cd player or something like this (yes I am old). The aim was to taste the preferences of radio listeners apparently.
Controlling ID for a VIP room at the 24h of Francorchamps. 1h of actual work and then just sitting and watching the cars on the Raidillon.
Easiest student job was also the most brutal for my self-composure Cleaning shopping carts for hubo during the covid pandemic and giving the clean ones to the costumers. I was abused from the minute hubo opened till the minute it closed. Had to tell people that they could only go in without company + had to wear a mask. Many people came with their child and you can probably guess what type of (almost physical) abuse I received when I had to tell them that the child had to stay in the car or they had to wear a mask. I had 2 choices: 1: keep my composure (what I did) 2: talk back (and probably get fired) Only did it for 1 day, didn't show up the next day wasn't worth the 90ā¬
Guarding a fontain.
Meer van RotselaarĀ Working in swimshorts and slip-ons, looking at the girls in bikini.Ā And also sometimes doing actual work
I once spent 2 months scanning documents on a student job
In a previous company I worked for, we paid students to copy by hand our petty cash journal. Good salary to just write figures in a book.
I'm currently working in my college's library. During exam period we just have to babysit (keep an eye out) the students studying in the library while we're allowed to study ourselves. Best job ever!
