So I moved out of my parents' place and I'm living with some friends in a townhouse we rented (we paid our rent for a full year, so thats not an issue, thankfully!) but now I need a steady source of income because I've been partying my summer savings away for the past couple weeks and I'm broke. I'm on my way out the door now to drop off some job applications, but I really don't want any of these mind-numbing 'get me through college' jobs, and I don't really have any experience in anything other than a restaurant setting. Does anyone have any suggestions for something I can do part time to make some extra cash? Do any of these online survey things actually work? Or how about all of these people on TV saying they've quit their jobs and are set for life because they did something online that the commercials tell you absolutely nothing about?

There are plenty of things out there that people aren't doing that can make money, any suggestions?

no ideas off the top of my head. Quit college join the CIA?
Posted By: Slinger Re: Gotta make money! - 09/01/07 12:36 AM
That means being involved with the US Government, and with their current track record...no thanks!

In order to join the CIA, you have to have a college degree.
Same with the FBI or any other three letter agency for that
matter.

Who said I was dumb enough to look for a *perfect* track record? As far as recent history goes, though, I wouldn't mind being in France.

Well said Sling.

Disgruntled comic store cashier? It's atleast a better idea than fast food jobs!
Posted By: Slinger Re: Gotta make money! - 09/11/07 08:33 AM
I applied for a pizza delivery job, lol... I love to drive, so I figure that would be a decent job, plus it will help me learn all of the roads around here.
Posted By: Raekwon Re: Gotta make money! - 09/11/07 09:47 AM
I say go for it - and eventually you'll meet a girl named Mary... there's something about Mary... something you'll never forget and so you'll become a perma-stalker.

Bahahahahah, i'd love to hear that develope.

You could go and work for Geek Squad or Firedog. lol
Then find you a hot nerd chick
Posted By: Slinger Re: Gotta make money! - 09/11/07 08:55 PM
There's a hot nerd chick in a bunch of my classes, and we hang out, but I still don't know if shes single or not! :-x
Posted By: Helemoto Re: Gotta make money! - 09/11/07 09:54 PM
Stick with the Pizza job and let the porn storys begin.
JK
I did have that job when I was in my youth.
The big fancy houses do not tip.
The guy that smells funny does.

Now when I get pizza delivered I always tip atleast a buck a box, or 4 bucks if I didnt order much.

The last time I tried to get back into poker they said I couldnt due to the fact I was a US resident.
How do you get to play for cash
Posted By: Binbs Re: Gotta make money! - 09/11/07 10:05 PM
Well since Im from Europe Its easier for me to play.

There are only certain sites that let US residents play.

www.fulltiltpoker.com

www.pokerstars.com

www.cakepoker.com

And some others I dont really remember.

Most of these take creditcards or Moneygram.

This job will probably suck ass then, all of the houses near here are big and fancy...actually, I don't even know how I can afford to live here, but my rent is paid for a year, woohoo!
