I live in Iowa now. I am a real big party girl and night owl. I'm also working on a book. I don't need a lot of money, i figure i can get a job at a buffet at one of the casinos or something, then spend the rest of the time writing or partying. Does this sound like a good idea (do you live in Vegas?)

I'm from Vegas.... and most of the things you said are key reasons for living there.  Nothing closes, you can work whatever schedule fits your sleeping patterns, the clubs are incredible..... and if you're female and reasonably attractive, coctail waitresses are paid incredibly well.\n\nApartment rates are pretty high though.

be sure to go to Fremont Street in old Vegas (off the strip) it has about 4 city blocks canopied with lights, and they put on a fantastic free show, the neon cowboy is over there, it is great! If you want to part with about $100. of your dollars, go to see Cirque de Soliel, and if you get a free evening, drive out to the Joshua tree forest for another beautiful free (natural) light show as the sun goes down in the desert. Like I always say, do it all and have a ball!

You're going to do what you've always wanted to do: work from home. How I wish I had your computer savy, knowledge and expertise! I have to settle for encouraging people into giving me their old computers when they upgrade so I can clean them out and give them to needy people. One mother who had had a hip operation was able to work from home all winter last year, here in Maine, thanks to someone's generosity. Work from your home! You are your own boss. You can call the shots. You can either be affordable or impossible. You can be the guy people hire because his rates are sensible. That would be a daily cash flow... and the possiblilties are endless, because you have your home office from which you can work. You can hook up a second computer in your home to keep your business records so they are not accessible online (to anyone but you). Money, money , money! Start thinking money instead of being too old! Job one is: establishing a really great cash flow for YOU and your family. They are job one. When you work from home, suddenly, you are no longer at the beck and call of company offers in just New York City. Your office is the United States, period. When you get richer and can allow a sense of humour about all this stuff, you can extend your business to outside the states. Sound too good to be true? I told Matt he should work for himself. He is now in San Marcos, Texas, binding little copy books which he sells from his home. Self-employed; well off; happy. So - work for yourself. Be the boss. Be all those people who won't even look at you or treat you nice. I am sending this message with tons of positive, vibrant success energies! Give what I tell you some serious thought. Sit down, put your feet up and think about being the boss. The worker. The bookkeeper. The candlestick maker - and of course, the Bill Gates II, who retired early! (You think I'm kidding, but how can you know you will not be a real success???)  Best to you from G., South Portland, Maine, U.S.A.

I do wish I could win the lottery and just be done with work!  Or at least get enough money to start my own business so I can make my own decisions and I am not busting my butt for someone else.  If you really like what you are doing then it's worth it to work.  The problem is if you really like something it is usually a hobby and not too many people can make a living from a hobby-that's why it's a hobby.  So I guess it's a no win situation.  Lottery here I come!

Not enough to gamble but probably enough to live on. Hot job in Vegas in summer. Go to the Carpenters Union hall and talk to them

Move to Vegas and enroll in one of the dozens of dealer schools they have. If you are good with numbers and quick with your hands you shouldn't have any problems. The more hands you are able to deal out per hour the more money the casino makes. And the more money the casino makes by you being a dealer the better money you will be making. And don't forget about all the tips you will be getting!

I get to spend the ENTIRE day with my husband's family. I'd rather be in Vegas with you hon. As for other things to do. I am also a Christian, & you should know that Vegas has a lot to offer. The light shows & fountains alone would captivate me for hours. After that got old, there are several museums & art shows  to visit. Not to mention the SHOPPING!!!!!! LOL\nIn all honesty, you will not be bored, & you don't have to go clubbing & gambling to enjoy yourself

Whether any party would be worthy flying cross-country for is definitely up to you, but as far as company parties go, I think Yahoo's are tops.\n\nThey go all out in so many ways.  The bands are impressively big (for a party) like this year's Earth, Wind, and Fire (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:aq6jtr59klox), there is a huge variety of food and alcohol (including ice sculpture martini luges), and lots of other activities (gambling, full-body video games).  \n\nBut despite all that, your enjoyment will probably be determined more by how much you enjoy being around your co-workers (if they're going), your date, and/or how long you can enjoy gambling/dancing.\n\nThe last two parties really really impressed me, but I enjoyed the second one much more because my date and I shared a great enthusiasm for the party and dancing.\n\nIt doesn't look like last year's photos links work anymore :(

Good for you, thinking about starting your own business.  I do agree though look into it before you place your $$$ into it.  I don't live in your area so I don't know how things are there but here well I thought of it myself.  I am planning a wedding of my own for October and there was not one person or business that I thought treated me as a bride the way that I should be treated. And I was looking for the help. There is no place that can help with every arrangement.  Keep in mind if you do do this that you need to be able to cater to everyone and their budget.  Good luck to you!!

I would love to go on a free vacation and get drunk and party. Then gossip about other people and get rid of the ones you don't like. It would be good to win but if you didn't it'd be fun anyway. I wonder if these people don't have anything else to do. The ones like Coral who on the competions everytime. Don't they have jobs at home or anything.

Not weird at all!  I've been home since 2002.  Started off, the birth of my last child, and now ended off being medical, had a cornea transplant last december and now about to have the other eye done next month.  I am excited that I should have perfect eyesight beginning next summer, but I am estatic that I may be able to go out and get a job.  Mind you, not a career, my family is my career and I had my own graphic design business, but I mean a J.O.B.  As most career women like yourself, we began working so early and for so long that we don't know how to do nothing.  Alright, so find something to do.  What do you do as a hobby now?  Make it your own career.  Do you know, this million dollar 'make a bear' business started as a hobby?  I'm sure there is something that you like to do everyday that people just know its Your knack.  Take it a parlay it into your new career move.  I'm sure making some money on the side wont hurt either! smile, good luck.

I know this is boring but....SAVE IT!  Life is a rollercoaster, you never know when you will need that money. Or save half of it, if you just cant help yourself. Get some friends together and have a night out on the town, or a small party in your new place.

No doubt. My buddy convinced me to sign up with him at a temp service. We were both looking for jobs, I was actually interviewing for real jobs while he was looking more at something that would give him beer money. Anyway, we went and signed up, and the next day they told us to come in and they had something for us. We got there, they told us to go to the Hilton on the strip to the maintenance dept. We get there, they give us these ridiculous white lab coat looking things, they were to small, and a dust pan and broom, and told us to go sweep up in front of the hotel. ALL DAY, middle of summer in Vegas, in front of the hotel. I stayed for an hour, my buddy stayed longer only because he couldn't find me. That was the one and only time I went to a temp service.

WOW!  You are taking on a monster BIG job.\n\nI did several years of carnivals or as they call them now festivals for my children's elementary school. \n\nThis is the beginning of November, you can't be talking about for this fall? Can You??  If so I would say one most likely could not be pulled together in such a short time.\n\nYou have to arrange with game suppliers to rent the games. (This requires several months in advance) Also drink wagons from Pepsi or Coke have to be scheduled way in advance.\n\nYou need to pull together committees for games, food, booths, drawings, bake sale, country store from food collections, a yard sale booth from donations.. etc.  Don't forget advance advertising and publicity.\n\nI don't think I can give you an answer long enough to cover all that has to be done.\n\nIf you started now you could be ready for a spring Festival.  But maybe I'm thinking bigger than your wanting to plan.  I certainly wish I had all of my old notes.\n\nLook hard for Parents with good contacts (example my granddaughters school have parents that own a chic fila (sp) so they provide food to sell) or past experience for resources.   Good Luck.
