Call your local crewing company and you can push heavy boxes and get shouted at for $20 an hour. (less if you're new!)

oh man, im trying to get out of the labour side of things, and even though i know its a fact that when you change jobs/careers you have to start again at the bottom i just threw a part time sound/lighting gig away because i coudlnt handle the low pay. call me foolish but i'd rathe do three bed and points a week, maybe 12-15 hours max for over 1800 bucks than go back to sweating and cursing and being treated like a farken apprentice for sub 1k for 40hrs+.

I knowa lot of people who read that will say that i'm never going anywhere then but i do appreciate learning curves and i know that in this game you cant just walk into a good paying studio job unless you are sucking the right dicks or have superb references from other heads in the game.

that said i keep harassing and persisting and annoying. it will get me there soon.
