My wife and I decided that I look for a snow plowing gig for the winter. My main reason is that I just go plain crazy sitting around nearly all winter and her reason is she wants more spending money.
So anyway, I send out a resume to a snow plow place listed on CL. The guy calls me the next day and turns out its one of the larger plow companies around that brings on around 125-150 guys each winter and then multiple sub contractors.
He says because of my experience he'd like me to do a manager type job. Basically, I get a call from him, I call my crew leaders (5 or so guys) and tell them we are heading out. Then the best part, I don't do any actual snow removal, I just make sure everyone shows up and make sure the lots are looking good. I'll occasionally need to shovel or operate a loader or salt but he said it'd be very rare.
Best part? $35 an hour to do this. Now I hope we get a lot of snow so I get some extra spending cash.
P.S - I know snow removal sucks.
