I have a job lined up already, but it is the same place I've worked at for the last two summers, and it's getting really boring.

I call upon the creative minds of Foo. How can I make some money this summer besides what I make at my normal job?

Preferably nothing illegal...

Sell maps to all the homes of the stars in the UP. You can probably get $1.00 each and just hand out blank sheets of paper.

In your area, with the kind of economic conditions that are out there, merely being employed is the biggest thing.

But if you must switch jobs, the question you should ask yourself is not what can you do, but rather what do you want to do, and how can you get into it.

Take up a job in a cafe or bookstore. Or bar.

I know, I should be thankful to atleast have a job. I should be able to negotiate a good raise with my managers, as they seem unwilling to hire somebody new.

We have a few tests for you, if you display a certain "moral flexibility" I can get you a good gig in a growth industry. Just let me know.

you could sell home grown.
you could sell home made wine.
you could prostitute yourself.
you could break into houses and steal flatscreen TV's to hock.

Fill gelatin capsules (e.g. from Endurolytes) with crushed Benadryl tabs and sell them as "downers" to 15 year olds for $10 each.

I just happen to be taking apprentices...but only if he's willing to make a few changes.

Dude, which do you want more, a high-paying gig, or your manhood? Ya can't have both.

Uh, in Amsterdam.

Illegal without a permit...which you will not get for a summer ;) You should know us Dutch...we are really liberal to what can be done and what cannot be done...but we're sticklers for permits and rules.

Sell blackmarket contraceptives at a college campus near you.

When that falls through, open a daycare.
