Why Odd Jobs?

So I'm home for the summer and reluctant to get a real part-time job. Instead, I've decided to remain self-employed, choosing to seek odd jobs in order to get paid over the next two months. In order to do so I will spend my days scrounging through countless Craigslist ads, posting ads for my own services, posting flyers throughout local neighborhoods, inquiring with friends for opportunities, and hopefully building a network of people that need my services. Overall I plan on accepting as many jobs as possible in order to come away with a variety of new experiences and a blog that reflects a diversity of accomplished odd jobs. In doing so I hope to prove to myself and others that having a stable job is not necessary for economic survival when one lives modestly and is willing to take ANY job that comes his/her way.
