...DUDE. THAT IS AWESOME. And GO FOR IT, I SAY. And oh, oh, I was in the shower when this came to me (lol like so many other ideas)--
If you're having difficulty finding a job, why not tutor in the mean time? I applied to a tutoring academy (not even an academy--more like a one-office room) like, six months ago, and just recently got hired. They pay $12/hour, and a session is typically at the person's house for an hour and a half, twice a week. That doesn't seem like a lot, but when I got started, the mother of the kids I was tutoring got me FIVE MORE CLIENTS privately. So right now I'm not only tutoring elementary kids in reading and writing and helping them with their homework, but I'm tutoring a 42-year-old woman taking women's literature at another college downtown and some high school kids in an Ivy league-bound English class for $15/hr. And I'm a fucking undergraduate. So now I'm making around $650 a month, privately, in cash. Seriously, word of mouth does a lot.
So what I'm saying is--if you think you're up to it, you can tutor with an agency or privately; either way, it's a great way to make some extra cash on the side.
(...this is all assuming you wouldn't go insane from the amount of patience required for helping kids especially the inattentive ones with homework. XD)
