As a kid, the perception of'quick ways of making money' is so different from how quick ways of making money are being regarded as an adult. One could do the paper route which suggested awakening before dawn, sorting out papers, folding them per section, getting your cycle gear ready, strapping a bike strap to your right gasp leg, and then going on your route that might have consisted on a neighborhood block, a few streets, or even an hour's route of biking. At times , you would see familiar faces : your best buddy's dad getting ready to go to work, the fellow whom your father borrows power tools from about to mow the turf, and even the step pop of the guy who bullies you coming in from the night shift at the plant. You would sometimes smile, or wave, but try not to stop and discuss with them. It is not that you were being rude but you had a goal. You need to finish that route so you could earn your wage, and to you, it was one of those quick ways to make money.
As you got older, you may accept jobs baby sitting. You would be at the house of your client a couple of minutes before the official time would start. In all likelihood, you were given a collection of instructions, where the grub was, what time the kids should be asked to take a bath, how long they could watch TV, and what time they deserve to be off to bed. You were getting paid for watching an eye on some youngsters. It was one of those slow, yet quick ways to making money.
When you were allowed to do some work at a store, restaurant, movie house, small office, fix shop late in your highschool life, your companies asked you to come on a certain time, wear a certain uniform, or have a certain look that was suited to the corporation's ideals and values. You would work at a certain allocated time, anywhere from 2, four, and eight hour shifts. You would be asked to do precise tasks. To some it could have been waiting on tables, or cleaning the comfort rooms, being in the reception counter, cutting up vegetables or cooking food. One of those quick ways to making money that you didn't mind doing at all . You could have also been an office helper and have answered phone calls, taken messages, running errands for the managers and higher ups in the management structure. I do not know if you viewed it as one of those quick ways to make money, doing all the above discussed things but at the very least it helped you get ready for the workforce and life as a responsible, able bodied, hard working voter.
Those quick ways to make money schemes are not schemes in any way. They are probably those seemingly unimportant moments that are so very important to the person who you are today. The quick way to make money isn't very quick at all ; rather it is a life long learning experience to being a better person, working with people and ensuring that everybody, including you, gets treated right.
