The arbitrary 8.5-9 hour workday drives me nuts, because a lot of the time, I really only have 3 or 4 hours worth of work to do. I generally work quickly and I value my time. Can I make a decent living doing something that gives me this kind of flexibility?
Was a window washer for years. If you work for yourself the pay can be good… really good, like 6 figures part time good.
If you get routine work from local businesses you can just show up when it’s convenient, do your thing, get paid, and decide if you want to hit another one of your jobs or call it for the day.
Great, honest work.
@GizmoLion The swishy smooth lines you guys make with the squeegee on the giant plate glass windows were my one of my favorite parts of the day when I worked at gas stations.
@ADHDefy
Haha awesome!
After doing it for a few years I got to the point where I could make full circles, and soap/squeegee at the same time. Was always fun to pull that out for a new customer and watch their reaction.
I’m on track to completing my doctorate next year but I’m thinking about apprenticing in one of the trades afterwards…
Honestly it’s never a bad idea. I’ve been to college as well, and I think the two experiences are vastly different and both contribute to being well rounded.
This sounds really, really interesting. Do you have any tips for getting started with this?
