Happy Halloween!

I feel the need to share my wisdom of successfully utilizing my time sans-job.
Apparently the economy is bad (if can case your haven't heard) and there are many of us out there: College-educated, willing to work for virtually nothing, and yet we still can find decent jobs.
While searching fruitlessly for possible employment, I've decided to have weekly projects so as to keep myself busy. Most of them have turned out pretty well.

First, I post my availability to tutor on Craigslist. Each week I re-post because no one reads the old ones at the bottom. This takes five minutes, and it's one of those jobs where I decide which jobs I'm willing to take. Anything that remotely sounds sketchy, I don't reply. I did get one last week from a mom just a few blocks away, and when she mentioned that her kid went to the local highschool, I used my judgement to go over to their house for $30/hr. At first I was worried that I wouldn't know enough about Economics to be a good tutor since I haven't taken a course in years, but I soon realized that I knew a lot more than I thought because I could easily answer all her questions. Cha-Ching!
I'm tutoring another kid Mondays in Algebra. I actually enjoy it because it's a nice refresher. I was a super-star math kid back in high school, and sadly have not needed to use my graphing skills in years.
The only down-side to these gigs is that I've driving over there for just one hour. I would love it if the sessions were longer, so I'd get double the money, but for now it's fine because it's never more than a 5 min drive.
