I'm sure this sounds stupid, but I'm looking for ideas to earn some extra money before school starts next month. I don't really want a "regular" job because I would have to quit so soon after being hired and because I have no one to take care of my daughter. I was thinking about selling my blood, but that seems so wrong. I'm not opposed to GIVING blood, but SELLING it? That's just not right. But I digress...
Does anyone have any ideas about extremely short-term jobs, etc. that I could do for cash until the end of August?
Serious answers only, please.

Buy as many gallons of gasoline as you can right now (while gas pump is around $3 a gallon). Then wait until mid August when gas skyrockets another dollar per gallon and sell your gallons for $3.50. You will make 50 cents per gallon you purchased, and your customers will be happy to save 50 cents per gallon.

I know that many temporary agents hire people for the summer. I would go to a few of these companies. Also you could tutor students over the summer who need help in school over the summer.

Put on a skimpy outfit and walk around the streets at night contemplating what you should do.. I am sure something will just come to you.
