Side jobs and supplemental income, what do you do?
In August , police raided RentBoy.com offices on Union Square, NYC, shut down the site and arrested 8 of its executives, accusing them of running 'an online brothel'.
There have been a number of stories told and articles written about the incident and its consequences, including one major British newspaper, The Guardian, and by gay adult performer and mygaysites contributor, Jesse Jackman. RentBoy.com owner and director Jake Jaxson produced a short film on their YouTube channel featuring Rob Yaeger, who was advertising on RentBoy.com before the raid. Rob Yaeger tells his story, how his lifelong partner Steve is cared for by him following a freak accident leaving him immobilised years ago, and how the shutdown affects his life.

Before i started my current job i was a "volunteer" in a rotary shop. They taugh me almost everything about rotary engine like rebuild etc. And in a couple of years i started to rebuild engines (short block) in my garage and made some money meanwhile having fun cuz was actually a hobby. I heard about people learning about soldering with sheet metal and now they are building race cars chasis for a living.
You need to know you what thing motivate you and start there. |

I do automotive everything pretty much for a profession so sometimes I'll also do it on the side myself. Rarely has it been worth it for cash flow compared to the stressed frindships and headaches.
I used to do graphics and digital illustrating/paintings/comics on the side though that came to an abrupt stop when a friend of a pissed off roomate stole my pc and cintiq tablet. I actually did really well and on a good week could pull $3-500 depending on how many hours (talking 15-30hours a week, college nights) I wanted to spend on working. However every couple months I'd go through a 2-3 week drought of nothing. Hindsight it kinda balanced itself out. If I had 4-5k lying around I just might rebuy the equipment and do it again the upfront cost is killer.

Although my income is pretty high it wasn't always that way so I sort of got in the habit of picking up side jobs whenever I could. Nowadays that is pretty much restricted to training since it only requires a specific time period and isn't dragged out by unexpected issues. I do forklift, manlift and fall arrest training and certification for several very large chain stores. The pay is surprisingly good.

I'm just waiting on a few Nigerian princes to mail me my checks back. I invested with them, and the returns sound like they should be outstanding!
