Haven't worked in a job I get paid for in 10 years... or a little more.

I care for my mother who had a brain anurism and a whole host of other problems.

40 fucking years old stuck living with mom on pennies.

And now that I think she's ok enough to leave alone and get a job, what happens...

Well... Hmmm

I did a lot of things. Any thing I could try from home, made shitty money barely enough to buy stuff and go out once in a while.

I fixed electronics, computers, bought broken things and sold them on ebay, did various little remodeling jobs, completely remodeled moms house inside, vaulted ceilings new bathroom, layed 3 tons of marble and granite in the house with custom cut flooring, leveled the once sunken floor and made one room out of two and a whole new kitchen again more granite and actually moved the kitchen to another room, and we slipped money out of a new mortgage to do those things. (keep in mind I broke my back, live in chronic pain, and did this all like a little tiny bit at a time all by myself..and I get no disability, they say I can work a phone and sit in a chair, which is true..)


Used that to get other little remodeling jobs...

Shitloads of things that didn't make me a living worth a damn.

Don't follow my lead, I've been broke as shit and worked my ass off for it.

I'm a theatre technician... (On top of being a student) I work in the municipal theatre in my little town and do electrics, audio, rigging and stage management. It pays the bills, and i love doing it, so it's worked out pretty well...

Good thread :)

Consulting is easy. You just tell others what they are doing wrong. They pay you, do what they want. Then i tell them I told you so. My wife taught me this job.
