Lori needs a job.

[Feckan Eejit]

Since I'm still taking classes in Maryland, that would be a hell of a daily commute.

Ach laddie, we can offer you room and board, do you mind sharing? You would make six in the sleepout.

So, the lease runs out where I am on August 15. After that, I need to find housing for the fall and spring semesters. If I find a place that costs roughly what I'm paying now, then I probably need something like ~$1000 a month to get by. Every penny that I earn between now and August 15 is money I can save, which reduces how much I need to bring in per month once the fall semester begins. (I was hoping to have already gotten a job in order to reduce my burden for the fall. Alas.) A thousand a month isn't much. That's maybe 30 hours a week at $11/hr (gross).

Probably not what you're looking for, but writing articles at $10/per is something you could do in a pinch. (oDesk or iWriter are some of many of the sites you can buy/sell articles on.) Low quality 300 word garbage usually goes for a couple bucks at most, but longer, quality articles can go for $10+ ...

I was looking at buying some mobile game related articles for some of my other sites. Let me know if you're interested.

Things will work out Lori

Have you followed up Oerdin's suggestion?

Just because he has a reputation for always being wrong, it doesn't necessarily mean that he always is...

[Egbert]

Awesome Moby. You being (sort of) nice.

[I AM MOBIUS]

A bit like you being sort of sincere and only a little bit sarcastic?

Awesome retort Moby.

With sincerity, and without sarcasm on my part.

Alternatively, does anyone know of any ways that I could just magically come into a lot of money somehow? Preferably by means more reliable than the lottery and more legal than bank robbery. (Reliability is more important than legality.)

cash crops

If you are risk averse, I would suggest growing micro greens. 7-14 days seed to harvest. Make salads. Sell them for $6-10 a piece at a farmer's market.

Very low overhead, high roi. Just gotta find the right market. If you are in an affluent area, marketing micro greens to rich housewives is like selling weed on a college campus

[Sava]

Meaning, you just sit there and collect cash

I was just thinking that today. Man, I need a blowjob. I'd even settle for a handjob.

(Sorry for the crassness, I was just listening the bogan cricket commentator over in the ashes thread).

But seriously, that idea of Oerdin's sounds good.

[Egbert]

Oerdin's idea sounds good.

I looked at the link. The advert in the link mentioned "must have your own vehicle". I hope Lori has a car.

I'm on a college campus...

So do I. I haven't gotten laid in 2 years now, so selling my body to the night would kill two birds with one stone rather neatly.

But seriously, that idea of Oerdin's sounds good.

Yeah. If I haven't responded to a post, that basically just means I'm following up on the suggestion.
