    Part Time jobs?

    Well I'm in the need for a part time job...I'm currently working on getting a condo and with my wonderful timing I had a fender bender while driving a Friends car this past weekend (first accident in 10 yrs). He doesnt want to though his insurance (he did the same thing a couple weekends ago with his dad's truck), so I get to pay everything out of pocket . Money is already tight with me and that incident pretty broke the camels back.

    I'm looking for suggestions for part time jobs, since my current job doesnt have any OT what so ever. I was thinking about doing a home service thing for PC repairs and networking(my day job), but that would take time to take off. I had another friend suggest pizza delevery, but I'm not too keen on it since it would drain me with extra wear and tear on my car. Anyone else have any suggestions?

      bartender.. they usually make a killing
      I work part time at a bar ( bouncer) it pays $50 / night, but the bartenders easily make out with $200/night on a good night.. come to think of it, maybe I should concider bartending myself

        Yeah but sometimes as a bartender, you need to be a bit cautious. Drunk people get agitated easily.

          Thats what the bouncers are for

              Have you considered :
              - to play the lotery
              - cheat on the casino
              - put a live webcam in you bedroom and do dirty things
              - spam millions of hotmail's emails telling how your father was the late Mobuto Sese-Seko personal assistant and ...
              - sell Elvis hair or Marylin's nails on ebay


              now seriously bartending should offer you a flexible rota and if it's a good place you can do great tips if you want/can.

                In the two+ years I have worked at the bar, there has never been an incident of a customer hitting a bartender, they always fight each other, which is where the bouncers spring to action and gently escort them to the door

                    All you need here in canada is the smart serve certificate, which you can get in a few days worth of courses.. that is if the bar really cares
                    Another good thing would be if you know your way around the bar, and can mix the many different drinks people ask for

                      Just make sure you pour the beer properly. Nice one for newbies are shandies. They always end up with froth all over them.

                            How about phone work? Not advertising or selling, that's morally wrong and VERY stressful, and often legally shady. I'm talking about doing phone polls. It'salso kinda stressful, but some like it and some don't. I wrote quite longish about it here
