What about delivering stuff to schools, places of work, etc. Those kind of gift things?

Monday to Friday - 8.30 to 5.00 kinda stuff. You drop off samples, etc and order forms then

return about two weeks later for orders, etc. Firms like BETTER BOOKS?

They offer a half-decent wage and commission. Not much hassle involved.

nd you could exercise in the evenings/weekends and do all your other stuff....

Is there nothing else you could do, Schalke?You seem like a pretty sensible bloke....

Well, I don't have any qualifications in anything. I left school to play professional sport .. I could always train up in coaching doing that but I don't really fancy it. BUT, I have the type of mind where I could learn a lot of things so I would love to learn something that I could work in football, tennis, golf, baseball ... I would however love to do professional betting again for a living but that requires capital and that aint easy to come by. But, I am confident my system on general betting will make me a 5 figure sum ... but it will take time

It's not cold-calling. You'd be going over set routes.

To be honest mate, I'd love to get out of driving altogether, unless it was driving the players around in sport ... now there is an idea, become a sports driver for professional sports people !! hmmm

Driving as takethestandsaid "fecks yer back up."

I loved my driving jobs so much that i pretty much became a devoted slave to the wagon. The bonus for me was getting paid to do it. Stop/start driving for extremely long hrs on a daily basis whilst flipping between my stack of cds and the radio. What's not to like?

Shalke, this taxi job you do (and you're still evasive 3 pages in), as a private hire do you work for a company or as a sole proprietor? Drive for rich clientele or the 2 bob all walks of life mob?

P.S. Taylor to win his 1/4 @ 4/6 (from 8/11)...worth a days pay fella?

I am self-employed, I hire a radio from a company and I just pick up everyone and anyone ... I work just outside Glasgow and I mostly work 7 day weeks, very rarely have a day off ...

Did Taylor win? Seems big odds for him !!

£13.90ish an hour on average so far after expenses. Two shortish days as well giving you plenty of down time. Are tips included?

It's been very busy, not sure why ... not complaining though

Hows the holiday going?

By:

takethestand When: 03 Oct 14 02:13

At home but on a weeks holiday. Its been ok (a couple of day trips) but weather it rubbish today. Cant do as much as I'd like as coming back to Scotland at Christmas for 4 weeks + 1 week in Paris, and its costing too much. When (and why) are you going to India?

By:

Schalke 04 When: 03 Oct 14 04:13

India is in November (6 weeks time), I qualified for the IBSF World Snooker Championships. I can't wait, it's going to be some experience !! Just hope get visas sorted out in time ...

Good money for unskilled labour.

GL in the snooker. Decent prize pool?

By:

Schalke 04 When: 04 Oct 14 10:09

This has turned out to be a very bad example, if wages were like this every week I wouldn't have bothered putting it up lol ... some weeks you can do lots of hours for very little, dunno why this week has been good

I wouldn't say unskilled completely though, learning to navigate a full city is not as easy as you think ... and if you don't where you are going then you aint gonna make any money ...

Em, am not sure what the prize money is for the event, must be quite a few grand to the winner at least ... prob around £8,000 is my guess

By:

Ovalman. When: 04 Oct 14 10:31

Are you including all expenses though?

What about one off costs, car tax, insurance, uniform ect. Do you give yourself holiday pay, a pension and other perks?

£13 P/H may seem a decent wage but if the above is not included then I don't think it would be much more than minimum wage.

See, no, I am not including all expenses ... just Car Payment, Fuel and Insurance.

I don't have days off that often, but if I did then yeah, its still the same expenses but no income so that becomes a loss ...

It's been a great week this week, but not every week is like this, and trust me, it's an AWFUL job and I don't think it's worth the time, maybe I will do 2 weeks on the forum just to see how it pans out, show the real side of the job ... it's saturday, and I want to watch the football and do something good tonight, but no, I need to go to work all day

Could not be ****** today, £44 profit on a saturday is awful !"!

By:

DartsnBooze When: 05 Oct 14 01:51

£44 profit? Surely saturday on the taxi's should result in covered a week's expenses?

Self employed & working 24/7 with no paid leave for holidays etc is a vicious cycle.
Worrying about taking a day off work as it's a loss of earnings is an unhealthy way to live. Being self employed is not as rosey as some may think. Though Cameron loves the self employed, which tells you all you need to know.

Chuck a couple of bags on that taylor bet and take a week or 2 off when it cops.
If it goes tits up you can always look forward to another straight 7 days in the hot seat

Talking about the weather and how busy you are/aren't with your passengers must be riveting?

The job is dementing mate, especially on a saturday when most people are drinking ... at least I can chuck it whenever I like though ...

Day 6 and a very good week comes to an agonising end .. the clutch or the gear box has a problem, garage in the morning !! HATE this job so much !!!!!

By:

Jayco When: 05 Oct 14 22:08

is it your car Schalke

By:

Schalke 04 When: 05 Oct 14 22:15

yup, my car mate ...

By:

Jayco When: 05 Oct 14 22:22

my clutch went about 3 weeks ago, 550 pounds lighter and a day off and then trying to chase it back. Hard at the moment

By:

Schalke 04 When: 05 Oct 14 22:44

I got a brand new clutch only 3 months ago, so it must be the gear box ... cars are murder aren't they

By:

Schalke 04 When: 06 Oct 14 14:56

Analyze this >> 4 days off work this week, new clutch in car again !! Only 5 months after I already had one fitted ... this is gonna be -£600 by Thursday

... 3 days of betting to try and cover it

My car's been sat outside all summer since it failed the Mot , needs welding doing so will just have to sell it for a few hundred quid when i can be bothered to even advertise it , quite like not being reliant on it for shopping etc though

I know you've alway loved your betting systems Schalke but have you ever had to make a sole living out of it , it's not actually that much fun sitting all alone watching sport all day long & Knowing you Have to win to pay the bills

yes mate, done it in 2005/2006 and I know exactly what you mean .... 12 hours a day or more every day, the mood swings, can't watch any sport without thinking it could buy you dinner, pay the phone bill, the amount of time I say on computers on holiday, my ex must have HATED me at the time ... not a great way to make money

By:

Schalke 04 When: 07 Oct 14 01:12

But I am single now and quite happy to watch sport ALL day lol

The Markets are dead compared to 2005-06 though & what is there is only due to the bots , very different to 2005-06 , but still a few free chicken dinners if you're smart enough

I bought my own flat last year in cash & moved away
I've had the worst downswings bettingwise & playing poker that i can remember since my mug horsey days , very stressful being alone & having to make it all pay , even if you do there aren't many rewards at the end of a 14 hour day (like yesterday)

I would be happy making £10k a year in betting as a hobby, at present I'm only making about £3k per year cause I just don't have the time to do it ... 10 years ago I had good capital to do betting full time, glad I got out it though, it's not healthy
