I just got offered a super easy $200 job
I was hanging out in the training room after practice and the head AT asked if I wanted to work as first aid at a high school track meet next Friday and Saturday night. It's 5pm to 10pm each night and it pays $100 bucks a day. I jumped at the opportunity because these side jobs fill up quickly, plus I'll already be done with finals. The other day I made a fast $50 working a field hockey clinic...the extent of my job consisted of bandaging up turf burns. I imagine I will be doing even less at the track meet.

$250 bucks in 2 weeks, thats huge considering I'm flat broke and haven't had a job since summer...score!

4. oh, I take that back. You're not being paid that well...
...for someone like you who is an experienced professional in their field.

But damn, for a temp job :)

anyway, don't feel like you're overpaid. You're WORTH it.

6. well technically I won't be a certified athletic trainer until next year..
I'm still a junior but I've been doing the athletic training thing since I was in high school and when it comes to first aid care...I do know my poop :P

But these gigs are a great resume padder and fast cash. One of my friends worked a weekend long cheerleading competition where they paid her $500 and free room and board

7. Jeff Gannon charges that for ONE HOUR
Yer in the wrong racket. Become a Republican gay prostitute and earn the REAL money. And get to go to White House press conferences.

10. Awesome
It's great that you were in the right place at the right time. I kenw a guy that's a relator, and he would throw these neighborhood parties (always looking for potential clients) and would pay be $100 for a few hours of work. It's awesome when these type of things just fall into your lap.

:)
