El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 So I can't honestly say I'm skilled in any one thing; I'm a good driver and can make a mean espresso (3+ years cafe experience), so I'm just looking for a good paying job doing whatever for this summer, as is one of my friends. I'm just testing the market, and I don't know if there are any people here looking for what I offer, but if you've got anything for me its worth a try.

Total Sign Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I can get you into a coffee shop, what kind of pay are you looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Well i've already done the coffee thing for many years and I'm looking to get out of it. I'm used to 7.50 an hour + at least another 4 or 5 an hour with tips, and since it was an independent coffee shop i didn't have to declare taxes n shit.

Big A Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Construction is where it is at. Good pay, hard work, but it keeps you fit like landscaping. Either one of them would be a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Get a loan for $10k and start up your own house-painting crew or something. You could be driving any car you want by summer's end if you advertise right. Or you could make $7 an hour, avoiding risk. You're young dude, start something big early and leave the coffee-serving for mindless drones. If it fails you got plenty of time to go back to school or whatever. definitly. I knew a guy who knew a guy who did this. They made ALOT of money in just one summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Lol yeah being a coffee drone SUCKED. I mean, the money was good, especially considering how little work I had to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See i work for a painting company right now, 75% of the employees owned their own company but failed. I will say this, in that type of field it's all about who you know.

Guest mrhobbz Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Could goto Safelite Autoglass, they'll start you at $10 an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Alex if you start a crew you got a member. I usually landscape in Aug-Oct making 600 a week, but I'm screwed in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevethepirate Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 im in the same position as you are. only things im really trying to do in the future, i cant get a job being so young (international security/languages) last summer i was bored and wanted some cash, so i got a job at an exxon garage... all i had to do was pump gas once or twice per day, do a few oil changes here and there, drive cars around, and fix flat tires. it didnt pay well, but it was fun. im just working construction this summer, pays well and i get to be outside.

Kevin R. Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 How does one get one of these handy construction jobs? I would be interested in that so I can be outside and do some hard work, which for some strange reason I enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 If you are local when you aren't in Akron I could get you some work in August-September before you go back to school. It's a 10 hour day, 6 days a week, usually 8-4:30/5ish. It feels good to make that kinda cash in a months time. I wish it were August, I'd be 21 and have the money to finish my car in 2 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need another job before that but would leave to make good money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
