If you have a good driving record you might consider Driving for Metro. Starting pay is around 16-17/hr and the scale goes up from there. Job security is GREAT(has never laid off in 30 year history). Benefits are good. One of the few jobs with a real pension.

The down side is that you have to start part time. Part-timers who are willing to grab whatever is available can usually make 30+ hours/week. If you've been laid off/fired you can collect partial unemployment while working part time to make up some of the difference. By the time your unemployment runs out you should be well on your way to full time and a notch up the pay scale.

You apply at Metro training in Tukwila. They hire regularly.

I dont know if anything is available for your interests but I know that Lockheed Martin is hiring right now for 20.00/hr They are military based so you might want to look into this and I also know that BAE Systems is also hiring. They are military based also!

To get hired at boeing you pretty much have to have prior military working on avionics or airframes and power plant systems. Most of the time boeing starts off guys at tech-2's out of the military making about 15.50 an hour or so depending on what shift they need you on and how badly they need you. Also boeing is in a hiring freeze right now. I am navy aviation and also have quite a few buddies working there.

Why not work at the post office? you can steal whatever birthday cards and wedding gifts to pawn off as necessary. Heheheh j/k.

I work at Sabey Data Center in Tukwila, it's right across the street from the Metro terminal. Wouldn't be looking for the Formula, I rarely drive it to work... once in a blue moon if its nice I'll bring it in, but I'd rather let it sit in the garage where it's not gonna get door dings and stuff.

If you need quick cash...there is a study group that will pay you $25K for your left (or right) nut. You get a silicon replacement, vasectomy if ya want (you know "while we're here") and a year of check ups for free.

Seriously - the next time the words "I'd give my left nut for that" - it can happen
