So, I work in the daytime for the summer from 6-5 about but I am a little worried about school expenses coming up this year and as to whether or not I'll have enough money to make it work. I put out a general post a few weeks ago about something similar to this and all I got for responses was "get a Job". As you may guess I wake up at 5am go to bed at like 10pm and 5am to 6pm Is pretty much taken up by work, It's not a glorious job it's greasy, hard work, without any air but it pays the best around here at least. 

 

I have between around 6-10 which is 4 hours so another job is really out of the question, but is there anything that I could be making at home that I could sell for money or something? I thought about custom sleeved cables as in the US there aren't many options - but the time it takes for one cable and the supply cost if you don't order in bulk is really discouraging there. I was flipping a few various things a while back, but that is rather risky and can tie up money very quickly if things don't sell right away too. Does anyone have any advice?

 

*Note: I am looking into Another Job on the weekends to add 15 hours to my work week making it over 70 hours long.

 

 

Idea list thus far:

 

-Office Cleaning

-Chip and Dale dancing

-Phone repair

Try getting a job at a local restaurant that is a 24 hour restaurant. Like iHOP, especially if you can get a server position. Growing up in a restaurant taught me quite a bit of stuff. Like if you treat your customers well they will tip quite heavily, my mom made more money being a server than she does now as a General Manager for the same restaurant (Took the pay cut for the more secure job)

Pizza delivery but, if they pay less than min wage tell them to fuck off also office cleaning.

I've looked into pizza delivery actually- they work from 5/5:30 to 11/12 around me, which is a little late but more importantly I couldn't make it there in time. Sadly there aren't any office cleaning jobs around me, I live in a rather rural place.

Yeah, I've had thoughts about this - I've got 7 years experience doing this actually (1/3rd my life). The problem I've run into though is that I can't make it there on time and the restaurants close here around 11/12 at night so there is only one shift available in the evenings. Thanks for the comment though :)

Computer repair/upgrades can be really easy if you have the technical know-how. A post on something like Kijiji can help start you off.

I'd really like to do this, however, there just isn't a computer market around my area I've found out. I can't even sell one of the pc's sitting in this room even for cost (it's an apu build). It's sad how people literally throw away their computers around here when anything bad happens to them and then they buy the Dell special from Best Buy for 250 dollars that has been sitting on the shelf for 2-3 years already.

You can try buying used phones on Craigslist or Kijiji and either getting them for cheaper, or buying damaged ones and fixing them, and than up sell them on eBay. Its pretty easy to do, because you can negotiate prices with people with Craigslist and Kijiji and get it for possibly half of what you can sell it for on eBay.

You can also buy bulk accessories from a cheap eBay store, or a website in China (Ex. Deal Xtreme/Volume Rate) and sell those on eBay for a good price.

Hope these ideas can sorta help :)
