Go hustle catalytic converters at 4 AM with a portable sawzall. They aren't gold anymore, but the value has dropped enough that no one suspects you and you can still make a buck.

Go wait tables or pick up a seasonal job somewhere like Lowes. You could also hit up a temp service and answer phones. They're all shitty jobs but you should be able to eat.

Robbing drug dealers! DO NOT do that, you will end up in a ditch with your head blown off!


Money is never a problem for me. I am in college and theres a handicap kid on my floor that needed help 9.50 an hour. I work MAX 2hrs and he writes it up for 7hrs. 5 days a week. 35-40 hours a week. Basically $1200 a month

yeah i did that at pizza hut when i was younger. i think i "worked" there for 4 months before the manager told me i had to start doing something or i was gonna get fired. i ended up getting a security guard job and really getting paid to do nothing.
don't work at mc donalds though. that's a ---- ass job.
don't know where you guys are but in n out starts at $10 an hour maybe even more if you have experience.

Seems like everyone is having a rough time right now.

My wife was a real estate agent but quit when the bottom fell out of the market. Its even been slow at Porsche, all these rich fucks have money tied up in the stock market, and arent willing to spend it on their summer sports cars.

try making close to 6 figures, having a house a truck, and 3 cars, and having a repo company come to your office to take equipment away because boss man is 3 months behind.

happened to me today. i've been more or less working part time for the last 2 weeks, now this. oh well, i've had 2 job offers already, so i feel for you guys... i really do. i fell into this job, ended up being good at it, so i really don't have a common frame of reference with the 8-9$ an hour folks.

go find some chronic pain patients and buy their ---- for 10% of what you sell it on the streets for... works everytime. they're usually desperate for cash.

At least you're not in SC where I am as well as 95% of manufacturing jobs. Everyone I know is getting laid off. I have put in 16 resume's and and 2 staffing companies, and still nothing.

Going on 2 months for me.

I haven't missed a full check yet. We're busy as ----. I'm working 6 days a week and we're still behind. I guess I should feel lucky, but most of the people who got laid off weren't worth a ---- anyways. Some companies had to lay off good guys, but the majority of the people out here who got fired/laid off were shitbags who didn't work very hard anyways. :-\ Can't blame the economy for that. Showing up to work late, calling in sick, blowing all your money on drugs and not saving a penny doesn't have a damn thing to do with the economy being fucked up. I show up early, NEVER call in sick unless I'm dieing, don't do drugs and I actually have an active savings account. Even if I were to get laid off, I'd be ok for a while. Between unemployment, my savings account and the wifes income I shouldn't have to worry about it.

Alot of shitty companies went under and we gained the work they gave up. Alot of shitty companies bailed out of town when ---- got rough. We stuck it out and picked up their work, too. These rough times have actually helped us GAIN work. I'm still putting as much money into savings as I can, but chances are I won't have to use it. Hopefully after the election things pick up and get back to normal and people will learn from this. :-\

exactly. i got 2 job offers before the end of the night last night, not more than 8 hours after i found out the rig was getting reposessed. although i think i'm going to take a 2-3 week vacation and enjoy unemployment for a little bit.

I can't say I "like" to work, but I know I have to and it's something I have to do if I want to make it. I'm not into scraping by and not having money to pay my bills. I have most of my bills paid up until January. Missing a paycheck shouldn't destroy your life, but most people make $1 and spend $1.99. It's the American way. :l

Might as well enjoy it. I haven't had a vacation since I started working. I always just take the vacation pay and go to work anyways. I wouldn't mind taking a few weeks off for once in my life. I'm not going to do it by choice, but if it happens I'm not going to slit my wrists over it. Sadly, unemployment out here pays around $243/week at the most. :-\ I don't know why it's so low, but that's what they give people out here. :3
