Side Hustle Series: I’m a Lifeguard

June 9, 2011

(Guest Post by Rachel) I love having a side hustle. It’s where I get my beer money, coffee money, I-absolutely-need-to-buy- that-shirt money. It’s not glamorous, but I’m OK with that. I’m a lifeguard. It’s not just for high schoolers with sun screen on their noses. I’ve been a lifeguard since I worked at a summer camp back in the day. When I went to college, […]

Most of the articles are about growing your own biz or learning how to start one, etc, but my favorite section out of each issue is slowly becoming the one called “Your Money”  (Surprise surprise!  Haha…).  It’s not like I don’t get […]
