Bartending...

In the sports bar/restraunt setting you can pull away $200/night in tips + wage

If you bartend wedding events you can usually come home with $100/night tips + hourly fee from wedding party (usually $20/hour)

Well that definately sucks, I started out as a bus boy at 16 and worked my way up to bartender by 17. I guess if you`re willing some bars hire bar backs and you could hope for the best that they need another bartender eventually to take on another shift.

Here is a website I used for the past two months...just type in your zipcode and when the search comes up switch the search radius at the top to 15 miles and see which jobs are available, maybe you will see some for nights/weekends only or at least give you some ideas. Worth a shot right?

Good luck!

I`ve been a delivery driver for an AUtoglass distribution company... I moved up to basically assistant manager, and then went to part-time, 3 days a week... Now I detail 3 days a week, and work there 3 days a week.... Works good in case detailing slows down in winter

I install custom hardwood floors which fit in just fine with my clients and generally lead to more car polishing opportunities. My clients understand that I do have to make a profit to stay in business and for me polishing paint and custom floors are a passion I have and I am lucky enough to be a craftsman where the final finish really does produce smiles, oohs and aahs plus new leads.

Joe,

Why would you need to find a second job when you do close to 300 cars a year? Are these low priced washes? or full details?

I worked part time as a waiter while getting my detailing business going, and I could make $150 a night on weekends in tips.

It took about a year of both detailing and waiting tables before I was making enough money from detailing to quit waiting. Since then, detailing has been my only source of income-although there have been a few wet winters where I have considered taking a part time job because I was losing weeks at a time of income due to rain.

This year, I have people in Phoenix, Florida and California who would each have at least a week of work for me if the weather here turns bad. Even if I pay my own travel expenses, I`d make enough that it would be worth it-and making something (minus expenses) is always better than making nothing.

Northern Cali, not La-La land.

Honestly, that is probably too far away to make it worth it unless I shipped my equipment out and flew. Driving would be at least 2 1/2 days each way. I can make it Phoenix in about 15 hours, a bit more for Florida.
