She works hard for the money

I started a second job. I don't know why. Well, actually, I do know why, but we'll see if it was a good decision, or if it just drives me to sleep deprived insanity. I worked at Apple Retail two years ago and I left when I got my salary-with-benefits-9-5 job. That proved to be good move, since I tore my ACL 3 months later and needed surgery. Gotta love that medical insurance.

But ever since I left Apple my friends have been telling me to come back. I always blew off the idea, but then a super good friend became one of the managers at the store where I used to work. Then I decided I would go grad school next fall, and started wondering how I would pay for it. AND THEN Apple created the fun new Concierge position (stay tuned to a commercial near you to see what I will be doing). Just saying "Hi" to people, pointing them in the right direction, and not actually selling anything?! Sign me up!!

So now I'm going to be making money that I don't necessarily need...or at least I don't really need *right now.* The plan is that I WILL NOT spend any of this money and just put it directly into a savings account. Any recommendations on a particular type of account? One with a rockin interest rate? I think I might just go into a bank and tell them to use small words and explain my savings options. Seems like there should be body guards who beat up the bankers when they are just trying to screw you over and take your money...because I'm not going to realize it if they are.
