    Before I started working 50-60 hour weeks, I would do strategic management analysis, marketing/brand management, etc, for small businesses. Once I can get my schedule back to a 40-45 work week, I'll pick that up again :)

    Been selling parts I pull at the junk yards. Bought a set of flares for $9 and flipped them for $150. Not too shabby for 1/2 hour of work.

    I have a landscaping business I run on the side. I do maintenance, chem applications (fert & weeds), and landscape installs. 17 customers. It's technically a side business to my 8-5 corporate job, but I'm fully legit (licenses, insurance, pay taxes, etc). Done with that for the winter though other than apps in Dec and Feb. Mowing wont start again til April-ish.

    36 hours a week as a RN in the trauma center, 24 on 48 off as a firefighter/paramedic for the city is what I do full time.

    On the side, I work on motorcycles, everything from service work to rebuilds. I also set up flat track bikes for a lot of the local racers. Seems if you win enough championships they come to you for work. I do a lt of custom pin striping and dabble in air brush work. And if that were not enough I set up bikes nights from March to Oct. Pretty much i get paid 1500 from the bar owner to get vendors, dealers, and events out there. On top of what the bar owner pays I charge each vendor for being there. Typical turn out on bike night is 250 bikes plus 300 more folks in cars. It makes EVERYONE happy.

    Some days I even find time to sleep lol

    I am the South Shore Area Director. I started playing in 2001 and got interested in running it after seeing some things that I either didn't like or would question if there was a better way. I helped the former director for a while and ran for the job when she decided not to take it again. I have been doing the job since Fall 2009.

    The pay is okay..I get a couple of perks like a Blackberry. I also might have to get a phone call up till 1am on league night so it's not all fun and games. The worst part is when I have to throw someone out, that's usually hard to do..way I see it is I want it to get bigger not smaller.

    A good thing is I can pretty much work my own schedule. There are deadlines and whatnot of course, but I'm not on a strict schedule and having to work all weekend after my 9-5 Monday-Friday job. That and I take care of an ill parent so this job still frees me up to do that, I can always bring work to his house and work remotely.

    I work construction as my main job, but it's not enough. I also do a nightly paper route, (about 230 papers on a Sunday) and I collect/take apart/separate scrap metal and take it to the scrap yard in my spare time.
    Anyone need scrapping tips, don't hesitate to message me.
