[QUOTE="Doug21, post: 1665770, member: 5650"]I can understand our boy Tim , not wanting to work for minimum wage at a Mcjob. We need to find him a job that pays like $500+ a week with few required skills and isn't that hard. Any suggestions ? I have one.... he can become a taxi/livery/ limo/ shuttlebus driver It's a pretty kickback job. Pretty much pass the DOT physical exam ( no need to study), get FBI checked ( fingerprinted) then when that's done get the public passenger endorsement added to your license and you are hireable ....it could take a month or two for the paperwork, but I think 30k a year is very doable. I'm considering it myself, I'm much older at 49. My local taxi company pays $10 hour plus you keep your tips ( of course) and they pay the gas, I figure that would be $15/hr easy ! Other places ( cities) lease you the cab for a daily fee and you pay the gas, but keep the fares and tips. I live in a very small town of 6,000 people in Ct. Cabs are needed everywhere. I imagine much of the work in Essex, Ct would be taking seniors to their doctors, and stuff like that.....maybe an occasional run to the Hartford airport ( 65 mile cab rides are expensive, Maybe $150 there ? ). I could see somebody saying take me to the casinos....probably close to a hundred for that ? I don't think I've ridden in a taxi more than 5 times in my life, and I lived in Vegas for 6 years. I think Timmy could drive a cab successfully and make decent "coin" doing it.[/QUOTE]
