If you're in a major city, you might want to look in to bartending with the local sports team... When I was CFI-ing I bartended in the suites at Texas Stadium during Cowboys games.... You could pull in $400 a night if you had a good suite...

You could also go to $1 beer night on Thursday night at Cans on Damen in Wicker Park. Only a 4 block stumble for me!

When I was a regional FO and Capt, I went back to the University and finished up my 4 year degree so I could have a better shot at the majors. And apparently it worked.

yeah, Im starting to get nervous. I graduate soon and the funds are starting to dwindle. Thinking about possibly getting a better CFI gig along with that valet parking stuff. I applied to ASA about a day late I think, just my luck, and eagle the other day. Any idea how long they (eagle) take to get back to you?

I might be missing something but what does $9 special beer night include? For me, a beer night special meant 25 cents if you guessed the correct side of the coin toss, or $2 you call its. $9 all you can drink maybe?
