If you can do this, then your set. Right now, an employee in the ER in an LA area hospital where I work can make $400 in just a few hours. It's a great job to, because their are times when you can sit around and relax, and then others when your bloods pumping so fast that you just get caught up in the work and forget the outrageous pay you get an hour. Yes there still is a "nursing shortage" (of good nurses), so in a few years there may be more then enough ED workers. Get in early, do a good job, and stay in there.Gizmo said:I use to do per diem work in the emergency department. They pay around 200-300 bucks per day.
It's entertaining to see the kind of trouble people get into. Some days I almost want to give some of the money back....Nah
As for rental properties, we do the same. You don't really make money per say, but if you take out a loan on the house and rent it, you may be lucky to have rent=loan. Therefor, you've lost nothing except the down payment, every day is a day closer to a free house, and you get: TAX DEDUCTIONS!

For the record, all of the meth labs in my area are in houses, not apartments, and not trailer parks. Guess you guys should be a dealer overhear! But seriously, I would never buy drugs off the street, it amazes me what I see in the hospital; people pay good money for quality goods from a friend, but in reality, it's not quality and the cheep stuff they put in it screws up their life.B767Driver said:
Did you know that: About 30 years ago, doctors (at least in Long Beach) realized that drugs off the street were dangerous, so those who used it didn't buy drugs from dealers, instead they purchased their drugs from drug companies.........Now you Know

For the folks in Tennessee, we have the "Teach Tennessee Program." Basically, you may immediately teach a subject that you have a Bachelors degree in. You work on your license on your free time while teaching.
Also, I think here in the Metro area no college is required for subbing.

Ask yourself what sort of special skills do you posess? What are your interests? I looked at doing menial part time jobs (ie working at office max, etc.) but thought that my time was personally worth more than that and that I wouldn't be learning anything by doing those jobs. Beleive it or not, I thought my time OFF was worth more than working on it for $7-10/hr!
I do web design on a part time basis (when I am at hotels on layovers), and have a business license here in VA. I know that there are countless others who know much more and produce much better quality sites than I do, but I fit a niche with my customers (ie cheap services and personal interaction). It's not a lot of money, but I put the $$ aside in a business account and it pays for rent and other incidentals like moving expenses. I won't be doing it anymore very soon, as I would like to pursue other, more lucrative opportunities. I am someone who isn't "happy with making $65,000/yr" as a pilot. I want much more. I am greedy
. Even $250k/yr which is dependent on someone else's decisions (ie management) isn't that great, IMO.I was talking to a property manager on an America West flight who said that their company needed/wanted a "do it all" apartment refurbish company and that there is a lack of companies that do that - ie a company that washed carpets, painted, light mx, etc. so that they wouldn't have to call 3 or 4 companies to setup the appointments. The only problem is, I have limited building experience. So what do I do? Volunteer at habitat for humanity to learn how to do those things
. Who knows if I will ever get the business started, but t o me it's fun and challenging to think of things like this. I have also looked into flipping homes but everyone is doing it these days.Real estate will, in my opinion, be a hard place to make it. During the past couple years people have tried to make it as a realtor/flipper/etc. and the market is flooded with people doing what a newcomer wants to do. Once something is the 'hot' thing to do, it is already too late IMO.
One other thing. After dealing with customers and their own businesses, it's fun to talk with them and learn how they got started, and to watch their company grow. It's amazing how many people out there fill some sort of niche you never thought existed. I like to fly, and as of right now work about 1/4 of the month on reserve. If the trend comtinues, I will have plenty of time (I live in base with a two hour call out) to play around with ideas while still keeping a (small) monthly salary to cover expesnes. IMO that's the way to do it until you get something that can sustain you.
Good luck!

I read an article about 3 months ago about an emergency room doctor who had given up her practice to flip houses because real estate was doing so well. I said then - the bubble just burst.
I wouldn't go down that path - it's going to be a HARD life for full-time RE's for the next 5 years - let alone part timers.

Any thing that has to do with the Educational services, You can Be a private tutor for different companies and make 27-40$ per hour, if you do that for only ten hours every week you will have around $1200 extra income every month which is not bad at all.
As others said you can also become aSub teacher but in some states like California besides you Bachelor's degree they require teaching cerdentials too but on the other hand they pay really good for something part time.
I have ben teaching for well over four years now if you have any questions just PM me.
