Those with a side/second job in this economy, what is it that you do and how did you get into it?

I live in a area that's prone to severe weather, so i'll run around and clean up peoples yards after a big storm. you'll be surprised at how much people will pay to have a couple of branches and sticks to clean up, After a good storm I could make about $500.

And to finish answering your question I did this so I could buy a new alternator for my car. It just kinda stuck with me and I like having a little extra cash in my pocket.
