Just about anything??

You could always work on a street corner along N. Halsted



for those of you who don't know... N. Halsted is theheadquarters of Chicago



In all seriousness though... like everywhere I have heard of, the job market here is really tough right now. I have heard of some places having 2 openings for about a $15/hr job and having over 400 applicants

it'll be cool for about the first 2 years...then you'll think differently. Snow is something those of us from Texas just dont really see that often outside of a vacation. When its 2 feet deep in your driveway and you have to shovel it...or blow it...it gets old. I'm done with the sub 0 winters, i wan to wear shorts and a t-shirt on Christmas
