Would you do it? Honest answers only.


Note: Its a train you usually frequent and well populated.

I can't say 100% "Yes" (even though that was my pick) but if I could beg part time and make $50k while keeping my day job I'd very strongly consider it.

I need a new job.

Too much work, I'd prefer a cushy sit-down, work from home job. I hate long, crowded, commutes and with that job you'd be commuting all day. My answer is, "no."

I used to carry peoples grocery bags to their car in return for their reciepts back when you could get airline tickets for reduced fares if you produced several hundred dollars worth of reciepts. I got enough to save $300 in one afternoon

No. I like what I do now. I wouldn't like this.

If you could make $100,000 begging for money on the train . . .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Would you do it? Honest answers only.
What's the time frame?

100K in a day or a week or even a month? No question. It would be great seed-money for starting many other businesses or investments.

Anything more than 2-3 months would become a drag though. I don't think I could do it for a whole year. I just don't do well with mindless monotony, regardless of the pay.

Per year.

And that's unreported, tax-free income!
