What are some fun, odd jobs anyone can get?
-
Hello, Thank you in advance for your input. Sorry this may end up being a little lengthy. Before I say anything I would like to share an article: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/07/10-reasons-you-should-never-get-a-job/ Give it a skim and you will understand the mindset I have had my entire life(I agree with the article). I don't enjoy school and I don't think it is necessary to make a living. I know that I am very talented and capable of making a living without having a 9-5 job or working for someone else. Who I am and what i'm looking for: I am currently making my own website for a business I am starting up(I knew nothing about web design when I started and had no personal helpers to show me what to do, so It has taken a while to get going). I have made a lot of progress, but have a lot left to do and do not have time to get it done quickly while working a day job. I am thinking about paying someone to help me speed up the process, but I do not have a lot of money. I am an artist and dream to work from home with my family selling products and possibly offering services. I am currently working doing grounds maintenance on a golf course. I have done this 3 years in the past, but at different golf courses. I chose this because I like working outdoors and gardening. This year I am getting a little fed up with it because I hate golf and the tasks are becoming so mundane and stupid. I get paid $8.40 an hour and start work at 6am. I do not like waking up early either unless I get to stay home and work. I have never had a cashier job or a job in food services because I think those are the worst ones out there and I am socially awkward. I enjoy doing odd jobs. Some I am currently doing on the side are: picking up someone elses kid from school three days a week(found on Craigslist), helping my friend clean exercise bikes at a spinning studio once a week for cash, and helping my mom as an assistant for her interior design business. I am not interested in pursuing interior design, but am very artsy and do not mind helping her with odd tasks and helping her with some of the design aspects for clients as well. I am looking for any quirky, odd, fun job ideas that anyone can get that could replace my golf course job and possibly go along with other jobs. I'd like to hear about ones that are accessible, but that I may have never heard of or thought about. I'll take anything that will help me mix it up and mix and match so that I can keep my life interesting and enjoyable while I support myself and get my business underway. I do not need to make a lot of money, I just need something to pay the bills that doesn't make me feel rundown and useless every day. I would like it to be more enjoyable and interesting that what I am currently doing and have done in the past and I do not want to be working all the time or during the evening because I need my family time. I don't mind things that are just once a week as long as they are not one time deals because I don't want to have to be finding new things to do all the time and worrying because it is not steady. A little bit more about myself: I am 19 years old and am not going to school for any degrees or anything. I do sometimes, however, take art classes at studios to further my knowledge. I have had a job as a mail carrier and will hopefully have one again soon, but it is only one day a week. I have worked in a hotel cleaning the rooms which made me feel like a low life, but I would do it again if they didn't use such harsh chemicals. I was a receptionist at a small massage therapy place for a short time and had more of a problem with the other employees than the actual job, but would probably not want to do this for a large company. I always thought being one of those "online chat representatives" for businesses would be fun, but I don't know of any that are based out of my area. I live in Farmington, MI USA. Some of my other interests include, holistic medicine, gardening, art(photography, metals, jewelry, paper crafts and card making and photography), yoga, soccer, organic and healthy eating and making my own skincare products. Thank you so much for reading and for any input you can offer.

You can work at an ice cream parlor, amusement park, tourism centre, or tourist attraction, movie theatre, children's camp, walk dogs, deliver newspapers, run errands for elderly neighbours (get their groceries), summer planting for the parks board... If you don't need the money, why not volunteer? Many non-profit organizations have summer fundraising events and need people for all kinds of different and interesting jobs.
