money money money, mo-ney... MONEY!!
 

I need more money. I know that I am not alone here, and I also know that there are most likely people here who once were in the same debunkle as I, and they have found ways to get out of it. My question: what are some good ways to make easy money? And no, I'm not lazy, what I mean is doing something you like for a living without needing a degree to back it up. Have you gotten a job that normally requires experience or a degree when you yourself did not have said experience or degree? How did you go about it?

And if your reply is going to be along the lines of "Sorry, but you have to have a degree to get a good job" then please don't bother, because I know that is simply not always true.

peddle the ass that god gave you
learn to play pool real well
hustle on the street

^^^ those are all very good suggestions.


have you tried selling yr children on the black market?

darling! we've been thru that b4.

only a select few can handle that lifestyle and knowledge

just don't fuck up

you win

It's pretty easy to get well-paid work in Jersey, because the finance industry is so huge over here. To work in an £11.50 an hour job in a bank in England you at least need some A Levels (high school diploma), but over here they take anybody with mediocre GCSEs (taken at 16). It's so, so easy to land one of these jobs. If you stay all your life you rise to the top. It's actually pretty good if you need a grand or so, you just work for a couple of weeks and quit. This happens a lot actually, but no one seems to mind.

Another suggestion is bookshops and record shops. They prefer knowledge over degrees, and the work is interesting - you interact with decent people and talk about what you love all day (be it literature or music)...

HA, I have a degree and still can't do shit.

in philosophy!

you can philosophize!

you think that will continue after the markets go to the shitter? im thinking the american credit crisis is gonna eventually spread... we're not nearly done with it.

All great ideas, especially the record shops and book stores.

Unfortunately for me...

I do, Peanut butter. I do.

Work retail.

Gimmie a well paying job, then, please.

yeah i didn't wanna break the news to you about that, but it looks like you already knew.

but don't tell me you studied philosophy for the money?

however-- if you're looking for a career move, you could take that mentat training & apply it to something else, like the law, soft-war, etc.

wait, look at what i found:

you might need some additional skoolin. best phuckin wishes!

am i having a case of déja-vu, or have you said this before?

mm yeah, especially since we have a record shop in every corner, it will be easier than getting a job at mc donald's!

I'm going to start substitute teaching.
