Book Reviews of Odd Jobs: 101 Ways to Make an Extra Buck

Book Review: Interesting & Unusual Ways to Earn Extra Money
Summary: 5 Stars

Odd Jobs is a wonderful read. The book consists of brief two page snapshots of various odd jobs (and some are really odd) by which one could earn some extra money. The job profiles are written in a light, entertaining style and include valuable information, such as approximate pay scale and start up costs (many of which are zero), to the plus and minuses of the particular job. The descriptions also include Website addresses for more detailed information about the job described.

The odd jobs covered in this book range from the common; dogwalker and catering waiter/waitress, to the exotic; skydiving cameraman in New Zealand and kayak instructor in the San Juan Islands, to the utterly bizarre such as human scarecrow or vacuum lint miner. Most enjoyable are the author's own stories scattered through the book of her own odd job experiences. This book should be purchased by anyone interested in usual and unusual ways of earning extra money.
