Originally i 2 worked in the print industry straight from college!!
From 2000-2008 but where i am living its all but dead and any print jobs going round here are theres always a scrum of people with the same or more skills/service as me 
Ive been trying to get back into the trade again since i was made redundant but its dying on its arse.
Plus i dont actually have any print skills as such i was basically an over paid machine minder/fork lift driver.
I currently work as a book order sorter,its not the best tbh and its about 13 and a half k a year (roughly a grand a month).But right now jobs are scare and as i am pretty much classed as an unskilled worker i do feel grateful to have it.
I have considered a college course to get some extra skills but its the old chesnut of not having the money to take the course to get the skills to get the extra cash.
A second job is a consideration however im not sure what i would/could do to drum up some extra cash??
Plus this year i have been planning on getting seriously in shape,so i am a lil reluctant to take on something extra that would cut into gym/mma time and obv sarging time!!
Time to get the thinking cap on me thinks there has to be a way to make a coupla extra quid. |
For sure it's a nightmare! I had to go up against 45 other candidates when I went for this job!
You say you're a forklift truck driver, is there any agency work you can do or maybe even go full-time agency if the pay is any good.
IF you get yourself into very trim shape you could also go as a male escort/strippergram. IT would be a good giggle and you could have women throw themselves at you. See if there are any spare jobs going at the gym you work at (free gym) or if you get a discount through your company at a local gym as that will shave the £s.
Sell games and stuff you don't need anymore on ebay and even invest in crap and sell them on. I used to sell slightly faulty Parker's Car Price Guides on ebay for half price.
Can you fix computers or give computer lessons? Throw an advert in your local newsagents! £7p.h lessons or quote to fix etc.
