I need a 2nd job- any ideas? (Page 2)

I would look into either what is known as "real estate options" or other real estate ventures like flipping foreclosures.   You don't need as much capital as people say you do.  Many "investors" use short term cash loan options like high limit credit cards or home equity loans to get started. 

However, it's not as easy as people think it is and you have to really put in the homework and due diligence, but it's a great business you can do most of it from the conforts of your home.  The cash is also not immediate and their is some risk, but the good thing about it is, it's part time.  You can close one deal and make $10,000 and not do anything else for the year.  Or you can keep doing it until you do it full time. 

If you are interested, I would not go in blindly.  You need to find a trustworthy foreclosure real estate agent and real estate lawyer.  Many will have a free initial consultation. 

Also, I recommend books by Thomas Lucier.  The books I started with is the "preforeclosure property investor's kit" and the "how to make money in real estate options."  If you don't want to buy them, just browse them at your local book store. 

Anywhere but a GNC, that place is a joke. 95% of their employees know nothing about their products.

Sounds like a winner!   I am hiring anyone who can walk from their car to the office and pass a drug test right now.....  

I always figured if I was going to spend even MORE of my valuable free time working, it had better be for maximum cash impact.  Barring the two most obvious choices due to moral considerations it would be something else involving tips.  A good waitress at a higher end restaurant in a larger city can easily make $50-$100 a night in tips.  Even if you're a waitress at a local spot in a small town, if you're good, you'll have cash in your pocket every night you work. Bartenders at a decent establishment can also pull down some good tips.  The other low effort / high return option is Internet selling - ebay being the obvious choice.  Anytime I've done that simply because I had something to unload, I've made a killing.

what is this cable thing you speak of?  I get 6 channels and 2 of them are fuzzy!  I don't give a hoot about TV in the spring, summer and fall, but I must admit, we rent A LOT of DVD's in the winter!

LOL !!  ....hope it's OK to laugh at that .....

I'm laughing too, if only because I did that very thing, week two of getting rid of mine.

thanks for posting this, btw. I am looking at high-end fine dining, b/c one of my coworkers does this one day a week and makes 100-200 a night, usually working one table. Home by 10:30.

i hope you mean week two of cutting cable and not week two of cutting out a spouse.. cutting cable saves money.. cutting a spouse costs more money than i care to wrap my head around

Oy! Yeah, yeah--the cable. The spouse, I just got rid of, no cutting was involved.

PBBBBBBTTTTHHHH!
