Help me find a second job!
well actually I already have a job/career that I enjoy, but I am wanting something fun, exciting, and a little different then what i do now.
I work in the petrol/oil business on a land based drilling rig. Work is exciting for the most part, i dont mind being there at all, i enjoy it. Pay is enough ( around 65/yr. ) and I only work half a year. I work for 7 days (84 hours a week) then I am off for 7 days, so I have a lot of free time. I was looking into a part-time job for my time off, but need a little help.
I plan on staying with my current job no matter what, but do any of you all have any suggestions on a part-time job while im off...has to be fun, i dont want to have a "damn I have to go to work feeling". I am 21 years old and was thinking about working as a car salesman at a dealership...love cars/truck (everything about them) plus I hear the pay is decent, and I have about 3 years sales experience, not with vehicles though. Maybe work at a club (bartender). Any suggestions?

If you enjoy being on a rig, why don't you join one of the service companies?
Lots of opportunities and travel out there if you want some kind of change.
When I worked in the US, I went all over the place from Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Arizona, California and Alaska.
Now I'm back to being an International Man of Mystery again, I've been to India, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and Qatar in the last 6 months.

Find a good sports bar/ night club and start there, if you know how to mix well enough and most importantly can talk to people. I used to bartend in college 3 nights a week and would generally pull 300 a night. Its a very different atmosphere that takes some getting used to, but I had the most fun working there. Stay away from "college" bars, you don't make money there.
