An Ebay store would be an easy way to make a little cash on the side. One of my friends kid makes 300-500 per week selling kids clothes (she is only 14 years old). Buys clearance rack clothes and then resells them on ebay. Lists once a week, ships once a week. I believe the post office will even pick up your boxes at your house.

Another of my friends shops bulk auctions and resells them on ebay as single items. ex. buys 5-10 laptops on ubid.com and resells them individually on ebay. Not sure how it is working for him, but it is a possibility.

Google adsense if you have an operating web page. I have seen a little income off of this program. You must have a web page, but this is fairly easy, with all of the templates available. I know one person that made almost 10k last year off of this program. Just create a web page that is exciting, interesting to you. Ideas for pilots - international restaurants, how to travel, secrets of the industry, safety of traveling, customs, and etc.

I thought it was only considered day trading if you did it more than 4 out of 5 days a week (business days).

I don't know...

I'm sorry, my bad. I though it was about what to do on your free time/overnights. I misunderstood it.

No worries man, just being sarcastic. Plus, you hafta see most of the flight attendants at OH to know that it's just unthinkable to spend any extra time with them.

I have a second job. It is a hobby job that gets me discounts on my main hobby. I sell guns!

I enjoy it and it keeps me out of trouble, but between the two jobs I had 2 days off last month and will have about 3 or maybe 4 this month. Still the extra money is nice!

If I only had 2 days off, I would use the extra money to by myself a gun and, well...

Ebay works for me when I need some cash. I had tons of friends give me things when they moved out that I sold over the summer. I think all in all I made around 700 a week. Mind you I cant do anything like that now that I moved and have no free "inventory" Its still a good idea if you have lots of crap hanging around!!

You would be shocked at the things Americans will buy second-hand!
