..... I'm not sure you'll like my suggestion...... :oops:

Have you thought doing something in the sex industry 8O ? The rational is, if you are totally indifferent, maybe it wouldn't bother you doing that for money.

About being an espie in that industry. I strongly suspect sasha grey is aspie.

Don't take it the wrong way :)


I doubt I could put up with something like that...so probably not.

So I know before I said data entry would be hell...but I was talking to this woman earlier and she needs someone to do this job, so she can keep up with her job. So yeah I could make rather decent income with this. Its not a super stressful environment either and I can listen to music and she's pretty cool so I would not mind helping her out with the data entry.

I like this random event.

Well the office would consist of me and one other person, me being the person to type in the crap for the data entry. so its not like an actual office set up typically found at most job settings from my understanding it's more laid back so yeah. I am not 100% sure about it yet though, I have to talk to the person wanting to hire me again find out all the specifics and decide from there.

Also I need to determine if I should be taking a job right now, even though this seems simple and laid back.

I sometimes do MTurk, but the pay isn't high enough to keep me motivated :/

So, I wasn't going to be the one to bring this up, but since someone else did......

Working as a waitress in a strip club is not an all bad job-especially if you go to a nice one. I did this with a friend when I lived in Dallas (ahem...about 20 years ago 8O ). You go to work under the influence of what ever you choose to, you still get to keep your clothes on (although you may have to wear a funky a little uniform), and you can make Ok $ on it if you try. I knew people who were putting themselves through school with it. I think the only thing that I ever got in trouble for was sitting a drinking with the customers too much, instead of doing my "job"-but hey, they told me to sell drinks, which I was doing (.....and drinking them....lol). I don't know what SSI would do with that though.

There was one other job that I did when I think I was a little younger than you. I posed for live nude art classes at the college :lol: . I had forgotten about that until just now-it was an interesting experience that wasn't completely about the $.

Hmmm I mean I am sure it has it's benefits but its really not for me. Also I suck at flirting and hate attemtping so they might not like the waitress with flat and/or depressed effect now would they? Unless it's some weird goth strip club where not being super outgoing and smiliey is considered attractive. Now nude art may not be so bad, but I doubt anyones hiring for that in the area.

Most places would rather you not flirt-that's the dancers job-and as I said, I got in trouble for it. All they want you to do is serve drinks.

Unless it's some weird goth strip club where not being super outgoing and smiliey is considered attractive.
:lmao: I like it-you may have a new concept there.

Now nude art may not be so bad, but I doubt anyones hiring for that in the area.
This was advertised in the classifieds of the local paper. I knew it was legit because it was for the art dept at the local univ.-you need to be careful of these adds though. But the local classifieds is a good place to look for odd jobs.


I am really glad that you have found a decent option, but this is something to stick away if you ever need quick money to get you out of a bind.

If your good at cleaning; that is a skill people will pay for.

I am horrible at cleaning but a lot of cleaning services are really out of my price range.

Well the main issue with that is I don't have adequate transportation to get to places to clean, or to carry supplies.

I don't know where you live; so this may not apply but could you start locally where you could walk/bike/bus? If you live in a more remote area this might not be an option.

I wouldn't worry to much about cleaning supplies. If you charge lower prices; you can just use the customers supplies.

Well I could try posting ads on bullieten boards and such...I would not advertise myself as a professional though, because I certainly am not one so false advertising could be bad for me.

Make bijouterie (imitation jewelry from beads or cheap stones) & sell it online (advertize photos in a blog) or create a web-site & send a link to acquaintances to distribute it.

I once posted a paper ad at the wall in the local post-office saying that a high-school student is looking for odd jobs.
