Try waitressing. If you can waiter some high-end places you can get really great money.


And how would I get a job at a call center?
When i went to Otto's all the waiters were internationals (french, italian etc) for some reason... What is the rough hourly rate for fine dining place, i'm curious.

Labour Hire... for the money... there's mad money in it... It's back breaking work... pays pretty good $25/h on average...

It beats paying for a gym membership...

Yeah but tutoring is so much effort. And you have to deal with kids who put in 1/4 of the effort that you put in.
With market research all you have to do is lie, and you get like $80-$150 for like 2 hours + sometimes free shit

Wait do you mean working in market research or being a participant of the research? If you mean the former then it's even more work than tutoring because you often have to call up or bother many people to get information out of them and I'm pretty sure that pay rate doesn't look right.

But market research is ad-hoc/infrequent. So yeah you might get more cash per hour but you usually won't have many hours at all so cumulatively it's not that much in the end.
That's why you have other jobs ontop of that then do market research when you get the opportunity. Profit?

Then your primary source of income is dependent on what other job(s) you get, not the market research. In essence the market research is more of an extra rather than the main.

I could probably make it my main income if I wanted :p
You can get like 3 or 4 different offers each week which can be like 400-800 each week for a few hours of talking and answering questions :p

Literally search market research on Google. And apply with as many companies as possible. When they match you up with some research they'll send you an email and you'll have to do a survey to make sure you're who they need
