i_like_sun Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Whats the sickest summer gig you've ever had? Quote
PLC Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 When I was in high school and college, I mowed lawns all summer. I charged $25 per lawn and paid no taxes. On average, it took me about 45 minutes to mow a lawn, so I was making about $30 an hour, getting exercise, no boss, out in the sun all day. My friends were making $4 an hour after taxes sitting in an ice cream shop in the mall. Suckers. Quote
lizard_brain Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I lived in Walla Walla during high school, and during one summer I worked nights driving pea combines. I worked 12-hour shifts, 6pm to 6am. Just drove back and forth 3-4 miles an hour all night. Sun went down, stars came out, sun came up. Brought a few joints and maps of the constellations to keep occupied. Quote
kevbone Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 sit on CC.com and get paid well for it... How does one "sit" on CC.com? Quote
i_like_sun Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 That sounds great! Heres one: Get paid a tax free $15 per hour restoring an antique craftsmen house while living in it for free. Also forgeting to mention that it is packed with food and has a giant organic vegetable garden in the front yard. Yeah, life hurts........ Quote

I had a similar job (12hr shifts) on a peppermint farm north of Eugene, except I harvested during the day shift. I'd get mesmerized watching the swallows in their aerial acrobatics swooping for moths flushed from their cover. Quote
