In Search of a Lucrative Summer Job
So I'm trying to figure out how I am going to support myself this summer. I have very little in savings right now, and since I'm still a long-term sub I'm not on the 12-month pay schedule. I will be taking two summer session classes, which are more concentrated sessions than normal, and I will only have mid-June to mid-August available for work. I would prefer not to teach this summer because I need a break from whiny kids (and they're all whiny!). And, ever since I read (actually, I listened to the Book on Tape) On Writing by Steven King, I've had a strong urge to "close the door and write." I really want to write a novel this summer, or at least spend a lot of time sitting and writing some work of fiction. The problem: How will I have time for school and writing and still pay the rent?

So I decided that I need a job that pays a lot of money for very few hours and is flexible and would let me work for just the summer. Yes, I know, if these jobs existed then wouldn't everyone work them? The only (legal) job that I can think of is stripping. Not really ready to go there. Too bad you have to be in law school to be a summer associate. I could try waitressing, but I probably couldn't get a big money waitress job for just a few months, especially with class at night. So does anyone have any ideas for how I can pay the rent this summer? And yeah, it has to be legal. So this is really more of a rhetorical question . . .
