Hello
Peter,
First and foremost, I highly recommend the trip,
although two months seems better. Secondly, I never spent a dime of my
parents money while traveling. In almost every place I have ever been
people are willing to house and feed you for a little hard work. Buy your
round trip ticket and bring a little safety stash of funds.
As for cash, my recommendation is light demolition or
clean-out. The dirtier the better, just where gloves and wash alot.
I am not in New York, but with your Bullimanka and Dad's contacts you
should be able to find plenty of people/owners who need to find someone they can
trust to do the dirty work. If you can do the work directly for the owner
and not through a middle man, you work seven days a week for three weeks, you
should be able to clear over $5,000 and have a full week to devote to your
family's every wish. I personally don't believe that people under 25
should pay taxes, but you better talk to your dad about
that.
Tell us, how is your sister?
Best,
Leland
Dear Bullamanka Pinheads,
I'm not sure who of you
remembers me, but I am ever grateful for your suggestions concerning rafting
and boating or whatever crazy ideas I had in my head at the moment. As
you know or do not know I'm on a gap year before I head off to Dartmouth next
September. Here is the situation as it stands: I met an incredible 31 year old
woman on my sailing course in Australia (This will speak more, I believe, to
the males on the list-serve, as I'm sort of living out any right-minded
school-boy's fantasy), and I want to go to New Zealand for the month of
February with her. My parents, however, require that I need to start taking a
chunk out ot the expenses before I leave. Do any of the New York Area pinheads
have any great ideas about lucrative possibilities in the city? I am willing
to do anything for 12 hours (or more) a day, every day, until I leave at the
end of the month. My rough goal would be $2000. I have a month-and-a-half of
house construction experience behind me. I am willing ...
Sincerely,
Peter Gray
p.s. you can write me directly at [log in to unmask] or reply on the list-serve where my father will forward any
replies.
