Re: Part time job ideas
One of things my wife and I do in the summer is go for morning breakfast rides. Put the top down on the convertible and drive 40-50 miles in whatever direction we decide, have breakfast and cruise home. Once or twice a week. We are home by noon typically.
Doesn't pay anything but walking dogs at the local animal shelter is kind of fun. Exercise for you and the dogs love it. |

You are a sparky. You are not only employable, you are in demand.

I tell young people all the time to get a CDL, even if they don't intend to use it. There is no reason to go hungry if you have a CDL.

Re: Part time job ideas
I’ve got a buddy that owns a tow service. He and his wife hit a truck that turned right in front of them while going 50 mph on their ultra classic back on September 7th. They were busted up pretty bad. It was the other guys fault.. and he had no insurance. My buddies insurance ain’t going to cover it all. He just started driving about a week and a half ago. His wife been driving a couple of weeks now. They live 12 miles south of me but I had been taking them to church and the grocery store afterwards. I wish I had a cdl I could have been some real help to them.
Larry, you CG got me thinking. |

The doc says no more working...sucks, but he's right. The treatments did a bit of damage and eight hour day would be bad.....

Re: Part time job ideas
Had no idea Dale.
Been trying to figure out what the next thing is since I was 40. That was 10 years ago. Id say I'm closing in on it..

Re: Part time job ideas
Climbing up and down all around all over and under into every nook and cranny I'd think could be a hard part of it.

Re: Part time job ideas
I've been thinking about this for almost 6 months. I drove back in the 90's but was a company driver, this time I'd rather buy a truck and pull a flatbed or step deck. I'm not crazy about being gone but it is the one thing I can do to work for myself. I'm still praying about it. It's a big leap.

Re: Part time job ideas
Where I used to work, we had a huge high bay in one building. I had to go out on the cat walk to inspect some hardware, 200 feet up. Nothing like only having expanded metal between you and a concrete floor. Of course, it's all braced, but still...I get vertigo at 12 feet.

In regard to part time work, I've thought it may be a good idea to get a realtors license. If for no other reason to have early access to the good properties for your own investment.

Re: Part time job ideas
Ol Jerry was a local machinist and when he retired he took a job at the local Chevrolet/GMC dealer shuttling customers to and from. He loved his job and had all the latest town gossip.
Jerry's gone now, but he did that "Retirement" job probably 10 years or better. |

Re: Part time job ideas
I forgot to mention another option that I have also been considering for part time work. Living out past the suburbs in an area that was "country" when we moved to our current home, there has been consistent residential growth. Like many of the others near me, my place has a long unpaved driveway. It's a continual job keeping the surface pothole free, and from getting so choppy your teeth don't shake out of your face. Several years ago I was buying 12 yard loads of roadbase for 150 a pop, sometimes up to 5 or 6 deliveries a day while I would spread it out waiting for the next load to arrive. This would be once or twice a year. After a rainy few days it'd need the box blade run over it again to smooth it out, and get a slight crown on the road to allow for better drainage.
Last year my brother bought a brand new dump trailer that was small enough to be towed with his 1 ton diesel 4x4... I think it was about 8 grand. Between his place, my place, and all of our friends and family that thing could potentially stay busy 24/7. I think its already paid for itself just with people forcing him to take some money for the help he provided them. He is a giver at heart so its a struggle for him to take any money. After I get my retail furniture store closed for good in the very near future, It's my plan to march straight over to the same dealer and scoop up a new dump trailer. Think about it...If you have a rock/ sand/ gravel yard close enough to make sense, and don't mind hauling a heavy loads, there's relatively easy money to be made. The most conservative figure I come up with would be 300 gross profit a day minimum with only hauling 3-4 loads. With some hustle and good circumstances, I believe the potential is there for 800.+/day. My plan is to offer additional skid steer services and haul off as well. Who knows, maybe I can become an other other Larry.

There's lots of low-key jobs that I probably wouldn't mind doing these days, but the trouble is driving at least 60 miles one way to work. I have thought of either asking for a full day once or twice a week, or else asking about sacking at the grocery store in the county seat only about 25 miles away...

Re: Part time job ideas
I always flirted with the idea of working at a hardware store. Probably the only store job I'd want other than car parts (maybe). It's my kind of place with things I'm familiar with. Many people actually need help there, and advice, so you're not pestering to ask if they need any. I know what I'm doing and I still find it handy for getting pointed right where I need to go or to find out it's a no-go without tearing through the whole store looking
