I have a girlfriend (single mom) who, in addition to her normal job, works at a Gentlemans Club three nights a week. She takes home on average $600 a night. On one specific night she took home $9,300.

Sort of makes you wonder.

These numbers are a bit low. I am speaking of actual experience, as I have held each one of these jobs in a full time status at one time or another. Obviously, I understand that these are averaged numbers, and it will vary by region, but this is what I made while employed in theses positions.

Bulk Fuel Tanker (Semi) Driver - 72,000 per year, full benefits to include 100% 401k match up to 6 percent of pay, company paid insurance for family, and 5000 dollar yearly bonus paid December 1st. Home every day, rotating bi-weekly schedule: Sunday through Thursday week one / Sunday through Wednesday week two. (three day weekend every other week)

Auto Technician (new car dealership) - 48,000 Per year, plus one car per year at invoice. I was the lowest paid at the company as I was only there a short time. I know of people at high end dealerships making SUBSTANTIALLY more.

Bartender - I worked four nights per week, Wednesday though Saturday 5:00p.m. - 1:00 a.m, and easily brought home 1100.00 in cash per week, not including the rather small paycheck. 57,200 per year, and by far the most enjoyable job I have ever had.
