Money
= Tookie
What you look for in a job depends greatly on how you define the word "job."
Most people would say that it's where you go 40 or more hours a week to work your
ass off and get money as compensation. We consider a job to be anything
that gets you money, no matter how little you actually have to do.
Everyone wants to have a big corporate job working for the life sucking vampires that are corporate America. To succeed at a big firm you must sell your soul. This means eighty hour work weeks with two weeks vacation a year. Working your youth away. If you make it to the very top you're too old too enjoy your wealth. Sure, at least you can sit back while you suck the life out of the new guy, but if not, don't be surprised if you find your self laid off after twenty years, just before you can retire for some new kid who is willing to work for nothing and bust his back. You'll end up wearing a paper hat and working in a McDonaldís (which we think is a government subsidized mix of a nursery school and a geriatric facility), worrying about getting enough life insurance so that you can get a nice box for when it's "dirt nap" time. With this in mind, every sane college student's goal should be to avoid the real world for as long as possible. Stay in school! Unfortunately, school is expensive, and we're lazy. Here are the best ways that we can think of to make money doing very little.
The
measure of a good Job is its ability to get you cash without killing you and ruining your very important social
life! With that in mind, here's what we found:
Summer Jobs:
Not recommended summer jobs:
INTERNING
"Interning" is a new and clever term
for slave labor. You work a copy machine for free so that you can put it
on your resume to get another shitty job later. In order for this job to
be worthwhile, it had better be pretty fantastic and have some good fringe benefits.
Like something in the porn industry, or maybe for a pharmaceutical company.
SELLING
YOUR BLOOD
Sorry, as far as
we know it is mostly donations. And it takes about an hour and lots of questions
about your sexual habits and lifestyle. You can only do it every fifty-six
days. Speaking of blood donations, look at our Red
Cross conspiracy theory.
THEFT
Although this has a high potential for gain, it also has a
high potential for landing your ass in jail for a really long time. The dating
situation in jail is very, very bad.
DRUG
DEALING
This falls under the same category as theft,
oddly, the police really don't like people who do this. The jail potential is
enormous. A bad idea for those who want to wake up without bars on their doors
and windows.
Recommended summer jobs:
SELLING
SPERM
Yes, you CAN actually get paid to masturbate.
Even we were amazed. You can earn big bucks for just a few minutes "labor".
Not to mention helping to spread your genes throughout the population. This
is polygamy with out the down-side of multiple wives bitching you into the ground,
but, unfortunately, without the upside of actually having sex. In some cultures,
success is judged in wealth or in how well you procreate; and this summer job
has both of those things. You can make up to $5,500 in a year (for something
we all do for free - pretty sweet). THE CATCH: You actually have to be
genetically desirable to do this, meaning you have to prove you are really smart
and healthy. So if you are at the top of the genetic heap and attend one of the
top schools or graduated from one you get the big bucks. Search the web under
"sperm bank." Finally, we also want to encourage stupid, ugly
or annoying people to NOT participate, as the gene pool is polluted enough. The
fascinating thing is that women can't make money at this occupation!
HUMAN
GUINEA PIG
You will be benefitting
mankind and you can get paid for it. Let your body make money for you, god
knows you spend enough money putting things into your body, time for some return.
There's some real money in getting poked and prodded. We have heard of a
sleep study at Harvard that pays $2,800 for altering your sleep patterns (yeah,
as if college students have sleep patterns). Yet another job that
pays you for something that you normally do for free.
The side effects of
most of these experiments will probably wear off eventually. Times have
changed; Dr. Mengele never paid anyone. Contact your local Colleges and Universities.
Ask for Psychological, Behavioral or Medical departments. We think we should
also remind you to ask what they're going to be doing to you. If it sounds
like you're getting paid WAY to much for something that you aren't to clear about
or if they use the phrase "This won't hurt a bit" - you might want to
do something else.
BARTENDING
Probably the best real job to get
if it is in a good club or night spot. You can make good money, get girls, and
for the most part get drunk for free. Even bar backing isn't too bad if
the place is hot. Bartending gets you good tips and good experience making
drinks. The downside to bartending is that if you work in a place that isn't
a hot spot, you'll end up making no money, serving gin and tonics to sorry ass
losers who tip you jack shit. Also be forewarned: if people find out you're
a bartender, you'll end up being a bartender at every party you go to.
LIFEGUARD
This can be an excellent job. You
literally do nothing and get paid for it. Plus chances for romance are extremely
high. The important part is making sure you are doing this in the right place.
You do not want to be a lifeguard at the Sunset Home for extremely old people
-while this may be a nice thing to, unless you have a thing for old people, you
will not be getting the main fringe benefit of the job, which, for lack of a better
word, is sex. Also you need a lifeguard certificate for this, which you can probably
get at your school, or even at the local YMCA/YWCA.
GOVERNMENT
EMPLOYEE
Great pay for doing
nothing. You have seen them at the side of the highway holding a sign or five
guys watching one guy shovel. If you get hired full time it is next to impossible
to fire you. You can sit on your ass all day and not do a thing and they really
can't do jack. Just don't steal anything or show up too drunk. If you can get
into a Union there is no stopping you (or should we say no starting).
ART
MODEL
Once again, getting paid for doing very little.
If you don't mind being naked in front of people and aren't too horrible to look
at, this is a good way to make about eight bucks an hour sitting around.
Call your local university or college and talk to the art department. The
down side to this is that if you go to school at the place that you model, you
WILL see people that have seen you naked all over the place. Up side: With
a little creativity, this can make a funny pick up line
BEGGING/PAN
HANDLING
Although humiliating,
this can be quite a lucrative venture. The key is to have something that
makes you stand out more than all the other assholes who want stuff for free.
Tricks of the trade: 1: Make a sign that says something outrageous, such
as "Will take verbal abuse for money" or "Disabled Slacker."
Anything that will get people's attention without pissing them off. 2:
Thank everyone who gives you money. This makes them think you really need
it. This way, people can feel good about themselves by giving you money,
and you can feel good about... well, not being broke.
BOSKING
This is a term for performing on the street
for money. If you play an instrument or do whatever, this is a good way
to practice and get paid for it. The cops might object to this. There
are a lot of towns where you can go to the police and get a permit to perform
on the street. If you're planning on bosking a lot, this is worth the twenty
minutes it takes to fill out the form. Tricks of the trade: 1:
Smile and look people in the eye. This makes them feel guilty for walking
right by you. 2: Learn a lot of songs. This makes it
easy to take requests. If you can take someone's request, it'll make them
want to give you more money.
CARICATURES
If you are an okay artist and somewhat good
with charcoal, try doing this for money. Make a sign, set up a stand, draw
people. Upside: This can also be an interesting pick up line. Downside:
people are touchy about their looks. You might have to make a real ugger
look nice, (which mean bucks, as denial is extremely popular) but if you are too
good at really making people look themselves, don't expect a whole lot.
