That extra hoe money

Well, I won't address those particular jobs, but I will give some general advice:

Think big.

IMO, the vast majority of people who don't achieve any sort of success in their life can attribute it to one thing: they don't think they can. They are afraid of life, they don't understand it, and therefore they figure the best they can do is be a bathroom troll.

You can do anything you want in life. Anything. And the fact that you are a minority (I think) will only make the journey easier.

And please, do NOT take some of the advice you'll see here, such as: "Future planning doesn't pay today's bills". That's absolutely ridiculous.

Decide what you want to do in life, and plan for it. Think big. And go for it. Figure out what you need to do, starting today, write out a plan to get there, and do it.

DO NOT do stuff today, just to pay bills, that doesn't support your ultimate goal, and in fact may damage your opportunity to get there.

On the other hand, if all you want to do in life is be a bathroom troll, ignore everything I said.

No already know what I want to do with my life and that's in animation. And while I'm working on that now, I still want some extra money, this is just something I want to hold me until my career starts to take off. In no way, will ANY of these things be a long term career for me. But I will make absolutely sure none of these things damage me in any way. and yes I am a minority (if we can even call it that in america these days)

If you are serious, start an office cleaning business. Low cost of entry, and you can find cheap labor. With a little effort, you should be able to finds clients.

Okay, well you seem to have it all under control so I'll just wish you luck.

Do what.juice does for.extra ho money.....in all.serouseness.......invest in some inventory and sell at your local flea markets, swap.shops, craiglist, ebay, amazon and so on

1. Tax preparer--30 years ago I worked evenings and weekends for a tax preparation company to earn extra income. You won't make much money at this job but you will learn some valuable knowledge for preparing your own taxes. The job is easier today because all companies use tax preparation software. The $189 fee sounds high. Check with other tax preparation companies to see if they charge less (or nothing at all.)

2. Male stripper--I don't know anything about this job, but I suspect that to make good money you would have cultivate gay male customers.

3. Bathroom troll--You would have to clean the bathroom and make it attractive. I understand that the trolls make most of their money by selling cigarettes, gum, breath mints, condoms, etc. (The "etc." is drugs but I would not recommend that.)

4. Waiter or bar tender. This is a good job if you're personable and like meeting people. You can earn a lot in tips.

Wtf did I say. You obviously don't read or else you'd notice that last sentence. NO TROLLING OR GTFO. Matter of fact ignored

I didn't know great innovators troll the internet all day. thought they had better things to do like actually get their ideas known outside the internet

NO "Free Lunches"!

@ estafador, you sound like a cool dude. you can come up with something. @vhkicks, why don't you come up with Sardine Helper, "out of the box" troll dude.

@Alucard is right. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. According to a friend of mine who is a female stripper the only male strippers who earn any real money work in gay bars, not strip clubs catering to women. I'd avoid that unless you're willing to pretend to be gay.

well technically speaking I got free lunch in grade school (all 12 years baby lol). But in all seriousness, I though gay bars also attracted women as well. Didn't think about that prospect. But it doesn't sound so much better than kissing a dude (oh god my eyes) or getting felt on the junk. Hmm, well there's the fact that nobody will know me...hopefully. risque indeed.

Are you convinced that you'll only choose one out of those three options? There's gotta be other ways for you to make a fast buck. Like jackslash mentioned, a waiter/busboy should be decent pay (tips) and alot easier job to find and start immediately.

Lopaw, I am in NO WAY convinced by only those three positions. As a matter of fact, I think I'm gonna ditch that tax preper thing. I'll learn for free since that job only works seasonal and I want more than that.

If you have other ideas, I'm all eyes bro.

Estafador, the jobs that you suggest are just unskilled labour - very little cash in those kinds of jobs. If you don't have a skill such as welding, plumbing. etc., the best bet for you is some sort of commission sales job.

An outgoing personality and the gift of the gab can generate serious bux in commissions. Pick any service or any product.

I use my independent consulting gig to fund most of my excursions. My regular job goes to all the rest of life's financial needs.

Ditto what others have said - salesman, waiter

You’d probably have more flexibility scheduling wise and may be able to make some decent dough under the right circumstances.

Also, when I was in my late teens, I worked in a wholesale club. I knew many folks who would work there part-time as a 2nd job (evenings and/or weekends) since it tended to pay a bit over minimum wage and they would actually get raises w/ time. Costco for example is known to pay very well for the type of job and one also gets benefits (also Wholefoods Stores; Starbucks; etc.).

Also, if you can handle the hard labor, UPS/FedEx hire loaders on a pretty regular basis (at least they used back in the day) and often part-time; and the pay is usually above min. wage – but it is hard/intensive physical work – they’ll work you like a mule from what I’ve heard.

Best of luck.

You did say you had a regular job and went to school.

I would concentrate on doing as well as you can in school and give that the highest priority as it “may” give you the best shot at making a good living for the rest of your life. And you are a very young guy, you have plenty of time to make $$$ if you make the right moves now. Often times people who try to find a shortcut just end up going in circles their whole lives. First things first, get your degree and the best grades possible and then analyze your options from there.
