Default i need ideas (really bad)

I'm getting extremely low on money here in g-ville. And a job is just about next to impossible to find except for delivery drivers which is one thing I will not do with the trans am. I have money saved up to buy a DD but I don't want to buy anything until I find a decent job. Kind of sucks when you are a certified PT but there is no openings for one at any gym! So I need stupid and good ideas for **** to sell on e-bay or where to find a job if anyone knows where to find one in gainvesville. I've thought about **** like selling a water bottle that a famous celeberity drank out of and I went after it in the trash can they threw it away in and **** like that. I've got a bunch of old vinyl records that I've almost put up a ton of times, but I am afraid after I sell them I'm going to want them for something! People please help me out.

Maybe find something unique on our cars that you can make and sell? Come up with a neat decal saying or license plate frame have it made in bulk then sell those bad boys on ebay. Ive always wanted to make a light up front bird and sell it as a kit.

when i went to UF i worked at Carquest on the corner of Archer Rd and 34th street. not great pay..maybe $7.00 an hour but its better than nothing..there is also another one on 8th Ave/St? near the dealerships on the downtown section of town....Also going in right behind (kinda next to the Carabas restu.) there is a Discount Tire. most techs start off at around 8-9 an hour with Sundays off. im not sure if its built yet but might give them a try.

yea I'm desperate. like to the point i went into heavenly ham because they had a help wanted sign. I guess since I am a certified personal trainer I could make a ton of business cards, go to local chiropractor offices and doctors offices and such and see if I can leave a card there or if they could recomend me and do personal meetings with people at their gym of choice. Only problem is I have to insure myself to do that kind of training....prices for a year of that cost around $700ish and my parents aren't fronting me any more money so I need somewhere to start!
