With the economy the way it is and mounting medical bills I am in search of more cash as I'm sure many are. I currently have over a dozen applications out for a second job. With the unemployment rate rising in NJ finding finding a second job is getting even harder.

So, I have come here looking for ideas and suggestions. Throw anything on the table who knows it might just give a brother an idea that he has not thought of. With the diverse inmate base that we have I'm sure we can share ideas and help each other out.

Thank you for taking the time.

Wishing each of you all the best life has to offer.

I'm in NJ. I have a lot of contacts but need a little more to go on. What are you looking for? What are your qualifications?

Thank you sir!

Just to be clear although I need the second income I thought this might help others as well.

For example:

Someone says, hey I do "XYZ" for extra cash or look into "this" or "that" as a possibility.

Didn't mean for it to be just a resume thread for me however I do appreciate any and all ideas.

With lots of people hunkering down in there homes these days, what about advertising in local papers for Handyman/Repair jobs?

I presume being a gigolo is out of the question...

Yep. I actually have business cards that I hand out / leave on bulletin boards etc... for this very thing. Just seems folks aren't spending money or they try and do it themselves.

I presume being a gigolo is out of the question...Yes, I'm afraid those days are well behind me. :-):
Thanks for the idea and taking the time.

How about a weekly booze/cigar review column in your weekly paper? Also with your recent experience, you could build bomb shelters. The first idea is serious.:-)

Here is a link to Clark Howard's website, he is an Atlanta consumer advise guy but I believe he is syndicated nationally. Anyway this particular page is at home work opportunities he has checked out and believes to be legit. Not sure if this is for you Al but may help others
