I need a side hustle
- Thread starter $kully
- Start date
The slowdown has been going on since long before wga’s May strike deadline. I know so many people who’ve been out of work since the fall. It’s obvious that the yhe AMPTP made a play to squeeze us below the line workers so we were already broke and angry by the time the strike happened all while showing the writers and actors that the shutdown means dick to them. My spending at Helen’s and HP Wine has plummeted in the last year. There was a time when opening a $25-35 bottle of wine wasn’t unusual. Now we’re on $4 bottles of espiral from Trader Joe’s.
Dabbled a bit in the acting/hollyweird world in my younger days. The creepiness level vibe was through the roof, and I'm a guy. Creep level probably 10x worse for women. Possibly the biggest mind-fuck industry out there on so many levels.
And the amount of layers to make a movie from SAG, AFTRA, WGA, DGA, PGA, etc. is fucking ridiculous. Everyone getting a cut of the profits.
Took me about a year to figure out it was something I didn't want to be involved with long term.
Still wouldn't mind having a talking line in a major movie though. Bucket list sort of thing.

Diesel mechanic/motorcycle mechanic could be hella useful for a surfer. Motorcycle mechanic can fix sh!t that goes wrong on the 250 Honda dual sport in Mainland Mexico.
Diesel could be next level. Every scrub with a sailboat and a constantly dying diesel generator will want you on board. SoPac, Bahamas, DIY Ments people....
You could get yourself on maybe a bit nicer boat too, like a luxury yacht the GoPro dude or Zuckerspiel or similar might own. Sportfishes hitting the seasonal spots for 35+ sailfish days in Guate, all kindsa sh!t in Chiriqui, etc.
Maybe work in a port near to good surf. There's probably a good supply of Gringo sportfishes in Guanacaste and Golfo Dulce.
On the diesel mechanic job.....
Friend #1 did construction when younger and garage (vehicle) work that specialized in diesel repair.
On Fridays, at closing, tradition was to have beers and rag on the goofs who never did preventative maintenance and the diesel guys would break out the gin.
First he thought this was some elite thing they did, or some sort of odd tribute to a long gone diesel genius.
After a while he asked why they drank gin based drinks.
"Because when diesel soaks in, everything tastes like diesel and we hate drinking beer that tastes like diesel. Gin cuts through the diesel taste better than anything else."

They could probably use someone with Excel and SQL skills.
Skully if you were decent at math/problem solving in high school there are a ton of resources out there for sharpening up on Excel and SQL
SQL is an excellent starting point in terms of languages. You can see your output from each query so it's more of a tangible, look-and-see thing vs doing theorem proofs in your head conceptually.

If natural wine is you thing, go to Vendome in Toluca Lake/North Hollywood. Way better prices on that and better selection (and prices) of normal wine too.
I’ve shopped there for years while working in the area. Mostly think of them for Whiskeys and craft beer. But we drink a lot of natural wines. Gf dragged me down that rabbit hole.
Hit up Thrift stores and garage sales and become ebay king. I know of guys who just advertise a bunch of sh!t from Walmart on ebay ( they dont say its from Walmart) for a nice profit and wait for the sale and then do a drop ship or buy it and ship it. Some folks are so lazy or they are hooked on internet shopping that they buy it. Close 20 items a day at $10 profit is $200
He's looking for a job he can do sitting down and baked in an area where a bunch of other people are looking for the same thing.
The little guy (no pun intended) is getting shafted by the union, The Nanny doesn't have bills she won't be able to pay.
Since we're all members of the precariat now, I've been learning auto repair. I don't want to end up like Putin driving a cab when the USSR collapsed. Taking trannies next semester
glory hole in your front door.
One of my editor friends got a job at a gaming company recently.
Recently I was curious to read about staff on superyachts. It's quite interesting job. Although, I was more wondering what you'd have to pay them to fully staff a big boat.

The rules already don't really apply to billionaires. Put a billionaire out at sea on a yacht, and by golly, anything goes.

Friend of mine has been doing that for years. All through south Pacific, Caribbean, etc. - think he's been around Tortola area lately. Not the worst gig in the world.Recently I was curious to read about staff on superyachts. It's quite interesting job.
