Suggestions On Summer Jobs That Make Good $

[systemJLx 10+ year member]

I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for jobs that offer really good pay. I dont mind working hard, and i would probably only need this job for a week or 2. Is there hard/heavy labor work that i can do for like a week or 2? or some night jobs at strange hours that pay more? I'm open to anything. Has anyone here done any tough jobs that have high pay without a college degree that you could recommend by any chance?

i love fishing and messin with fish guts lol. can i only make $100 for 6 hours or is there chance for a higher pay? and what kinds of things do i do while i'm on the charter boat? i live in florida so i think there would be many job openings for this position.

Dockworker normally gets paid decent. Gotta work under whatever weather it's in though.

that is a pretty good idea. do you think that they would higher me for like a week or two? or do you think that they would be more interested in hiring someone that is gonna stay around for a lil bit longer?

what is a dockworker? and kind of stuff does he do? and how much per hour? and is it something i can learn at the site? or is it something that u gotta be skilled at professionally?

Professional poker player...stripper...smuggler...highly placed elected official...LOL!

For a real answer, check with UPS and FedEx. If any of their people are on vacation they could use some extra muscle on the sorting line. Bring a strong back to the game though!

you could definitely make more thats like at least 100....depending on the kind of boat you get on youll bait hooks for people, retie hooks on lines, land the fish for people, clean the fish, clean the boat, clean all the rods and gear. pretty much you do the shit people pay to not do. i was on a boat that geared towards tourists and only took like 6 people out at a time in the river, i got 5 an hour plus tips so if people tip well you get more money. i got some like 40 or 50 dollar tips for 4 hour trips. usually 20 for 2 hour trips. i usually made like 15 or so dollars an hour for "working", cuz like i said i do that stuff for fun.

What airport around here? And do you go to Clemson or just live in Clemson?

OP: Good luck finding anyone to hire you for a week or two. No matter what you do. Maybe look into signing up with a temp agency or something.
