McDonalds is not going to interview hire and pay me in less then two weeks. No company will. I am looking into odd jobs though.

- HeyLaughingBoy 16y agoI know; I just threw that out there. Here's the problem I have with what you're doing. You're going to a Startup conference and asking that someone "sponsor" you. See the mismatch? You're off to learn about starting businesses, but really aren't showing any ambition or entrepreneurial thinking on your own. Someone sponsoring you has no reason to think that it would be a good "investment." $300 isn't much to make in two weeks. Seriously. Around here you can charge $30/hour easily to scrub toilets/clean houses. I'm sure the rate would be higher in Seattle: just target rich neighborhoods and be polite. I just spent an hour on my riding mower and I'd have paid someone $20 to do the same thing using my equipment and my own gas.
- abraham 16y agoHow is what I'm doing any different then what you are suggesting? Instead of targeting a rich neighborhood I choose the HN community and Instead of lawn mowing I choose web development my current practiced profession.
- HeyLaughingBoy 16y agoIt could just be the way you phrased it, but your initial post came across as "here's this cool thing I want to do, can anyone send me some cash? Oh, BTW, maybe I can do something in return." I don't know if that's the way you intended it, but it's certainly how I interpreted it.
