Once you get your customer base setup, its all good from there! Self running business! Hope your good looking, or your clients may also be....well...
Once I get a job at a regional, I plan to take the CBEST (California Basic Education Standarize Test - or whatever it stands for)....substitute teaching can pay about $100-$130 per day, depending on the school district. And the calls come the night before, so you know your schedule for the next day.
After my friend took his CBEST, his phone would ring off the hook from about 6-8pm....subs are needed badly.
Bartending would be a blast...I may have to look into that.
Although substitute teaching high school could have perks... ^..^ (talking about those seniors about to graduate.........)

Instead of running back and forth to other jobs why don't more people just pick up open time at their airline? The investments and business plans that don't require much maintenance (income builds without a lot of direct effort) are excellent ideas. This bartending/nursing/cropdusting/cfi seems like a lot of extra effort and stress, trying to do that and fly 121.

No, I'm good. I've got a side business that more than pays for rent every month. It just ****es me off to see people having to live at home to "make it" as a professional pilot. If there were less of your type around, I'm convinced wages would go up. We're professionals. Professionals don't live at home with their 'rents.
Have you ever lived away from home? College? Didn't that freedom taste good? Even if I wanted to go back for financial reasons, I couldn't bring myself to do it. Once I got a taste of the freedom, I just can't go back!
Who do you fly for? Eagle?
P.S. I'm 24, not much older than yourself. For the love of god, do yourself and your girlfriend a favor and MOVE OUT!

I have a sweet gig working for a Valet Parking company in St. Louis. I am garunteed $11 and hour but usually do more like $15. Definitely a nice supplement to my minimum garuntee months I get here at AWAC... $75 hours and no per diem is kinda sad... someday i'll be a real pilot and not have to work a second job.
