Bronz Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 that's not that beneficial in May though. Clever idea if the cost of the card is less than the revenue he made from his tips equals cheeky profit.Oh yeah it takes a while, but if it's gonna be a long term thing then it's the wage up until Christmas and then at Christmas wham, tips everywhere! And use the time up until Christmas to become known too, friendly, say hi etc. And yeah the cards were pound shop style, dirt cheap but the thought was there. He got loads tips, jammy sod.Do you have any interests? It's always best to get a job in a field of interest if you can. When I was 14-15 I started working at a print/design place, then got into design, then into the web, and in the space of three/four years I got a job as a web developer at an award winning agency. That first job might be more important than you think.Good luck dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbra Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Like the sound of £500 an hour?Then pimp yourself out to an old guy.In all seriousness I guess ask around places to see if they need dogsbodies, you may struggle to find somewhere though what with the massive unemployment. Or if you're clever work out a way to make money in school, I used to make a tidy profit selling sweets to kids, turning £3 into £45 in a lunch hour between me and a mate was the record, normally it was less than that but I always made sure I got a free lunch...Thats a good idea actually! (the second one i mean) I did a very similar thing back when i was in school, me and a friend worked at a warehouse that sold sweets and stuff to shops, we just used to clean up the back by the compactor and tidy up the pallets and stuff, and they used to pay us in sweets, and i mean they could give us alot every time we cleaned up for them. We never ate any, just took them into school and sold them. The best i did in a day was £60 selling a big ass sack of dolly beads (back when they were a trend some idiots would pay up to £2 for one necklace lol.)

Revolver Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Dolly beads were such a trend because you could bite them in half and fire them at people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprog! Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Put an advertisement in your local shop for lawn mowing, dog walking, etc etc. I get a tenner for mowing a lawn every fortnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They left right nasty marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakers O'Toole Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 If there are any 2nd hand car dealers near you go in and ask if they need anyone to clean the cars on the forecourt. Its one of the many jobs they don't like doing and would rather pay someone to do for them. You get to work outside in the sun and play with a hosepipe!
