usground in boston was hiring last week with a 500/week minimum. i guess if you were an experienced messenger, i wouldnt tell you to go there, but since you arent, i think thats the best deal to start off at. you get a little experience and dont have to drop below the poverty line.

also, move into a cheaper place, i mean boston is expensive but dammm. i was a messenger in DC and even though i made around 400 a week, i split a two bedroom with a guy and my half was only 500. because most dc couriers are in the park drinking beer, its a good place to get your start and get good money for it. most tags are 6.50 and up, so do the math.

if your just trying to get a chance of professions, i feel that. i graduated from a school in cambridge last year. i just got this interview to be a public school teacher in philly. 8:30 to 3:30 plus 37,000 starting. its seems like a good deal.
