You are so right, Steve. Waiting tables, too. My daughter made more in a few shifts on the weekend than her friends did working full time in the summer. Those “lowly” jobs are flexible, pay better than one might think, and do sometimes offer exposure to the “right” people.

Regardless of the status-quo, I have to say that some of the jobs in various cities have the potential to really haul in the dough. Taxi drivers, window washers, doormen/bellmen, etc. can actually be a good career for some people. Taxi drivers and doormen/bellmen can even take their relationships with the customers even further, developing outsanding customer service. For them, they can even bump into just the right person that could help them realize a dream (such as a movie or record gig).
