Where did you find your money tree?

well never rely on an intership, my GF was chosen to do a physics intership with NASA this summer and was gonna be making about 20 an hour from what we figured up, well they didnt get their budget in soon as planned and then put everyone on hold, and then demanded that the interns stay for 4 weeks longer than planned... well she told them no because we were moving and fixing our house the last half of this summer (the last 4 weeks actaully) and she was supposed to be gone and back by july, they wanted her to leave mid june and stay till mid august...... so now she sits around here while i work nights and pay the bills


speaking of which our roommate found out how much i make an hour ($16) and actaully said something along the lines of man "thats crazy you make more in two days then i do in a whole week" i said "yea but i already graduated from one college (suma cum laude 4.0 and 81 hours in 4 semesters), got my certifactions and have started a real job" i still have 6 more semesters of school and over a 100 more hours to go, plus my required 30 hours a week to keep my full time employee status at my job, but it surprised me that my "friend" said something to me in a tone of "hey you make way more than me you could help me out this month or cover the whole deposit..." he didnt actaully say it but he implied it.

rant over! a good idea get one of those rolling broom wands and a gas powered pressure washer and go power wash driveways and sidewalks for people, there is alot of money in this, i would know my little brother is doing it on the side this summer, you can just go around to house that have dirty or blackened concrete and offer your services..... my brother make about 40-100 bucks a pop depending on size and extent of cleaning needed and it never takes hime more and 2-3 hours a job.....

Must be a 2 yr degree????? That's a pretty low wage for a 4yr degree.

correct but i had to do it to enter the progam i wanted to at my 4 year school. and its actaully very low pay in general for the job most are starting about 18-19, but the company would work with me around my school schedule (told me to work whenever i wanted during school just keep atleast 30 hours) they are the only one within reasonable distance from my school, they also have great benefits, and the free unifroms are nice since ive only had to wash clothes once in the last month lol. plus they have a very nice tutition reimbursement program that i will get to cash in on at the end of every semester which will MUCH more than make up for the low wage since my school is already covered, so that reimbursement will be going straight to my checking account



you give the concrete washing thing any thought? itd be even easier if you could convince your parents that they need one and get them to buy it youd have to clean your own driveway 1st if they bought it but then you could use it as practice and as a marketing example. make some little flyers and stick them in all your neighbor hoods mailboxes and list your house as an example of a completed job, dont list a price unless everyones driveway are close to the same size and all.....
