I work at Fazoli's. Serve breadsticks and work the register.

barback....

oh whoops, i read it as bareback.....:eek::D....lol

I posted an ad before for a barista in my new coffee shop. If you can make a good cup of coffee, have good customer service skills, can operate a cash register, make sandwiches, and do general clean up (including the restroom), and can guarantee me at least 10 hours a week, PM me and we'll see if we can work something out.

Count all pilots out

Substitute Teacher..........(Well paid babysitter);)

Do you have your own consulting firm or are you working for another firm? If the latter is the case, would you mind sharing the name of it?

I work at Walmart as a Auto Tech... funny part is I make more part time there than I do full time at an airline...

Flying skydivers and working as a youth counselor and its still not paying the bills. Thinking about going back to my old job, light infantry reconnaissance.

Military reserves (usually fun often with travel), real estate, and consulting. The military is more interesting, but the consulting can usually done anywhere I have wifi. I'm looking into a (well paid) moderator/adviser gig for a distance-learning program.

I'll have to pitch military reserves... The pay is not great at first (better than a regional FO), but if you serve long enough it becomes significant.

If you serve long enough it will help to develop your general professional skills, should you ever need to get a white-collar job. Plus there are education benefits, some of which can be applied to flight training.


Also has flexibility advantages:

-The airline has to let you go, no questions asked.

-You can often go full-time for 1-3 years at your own discretion.

-Your seniority/longevity/etc accrues while you are gone.

-If you get furloughed, you can probably go full-time..good pay and great bennies.

Many young airline pilots would be a good fit. Age cutoff is usually 28-30 for pilots, 35 for non-pilot officers.

Officers need a degree. You can have a lot of fun enlisted, but the long-term problem there is that your civilian income growth will probably outpace your military payscale...if you got mobilized, you might take a big paycut. An officer would probably not take a paycut. A widebody CA could make more than a senior military officer, but you will probably be retired from the military by the time you get there.

Disclaimer: Yes you need to be interested in and willing to serve your country, possibly in combat. You will likely get sent to the desert at least once, but that's not that big of a deal. The hard part is waiting to go...once you get there and get into the groove, the time goes by. Going forward, hopefully there will be more nation-building and less combat. Note that most services do not use reserves in direct-action combat roles...you might see action but you will not go looking for it. Exception would be USMC and those qualified in special operations while on active duty.
