The Ghetto Connection
As I am well connected with my peoples of all incomes, I’ve uncovered one of the least rewarding & most horrible paying jobs in the world.
Phone book Delivery! You know, that little book we take completely for granted, but manages to bail us out when the internet is not available? Yes, PEOPLE actually deliver those 10 pound weights!
A friend of mine researched into delivering these books this year b/c she was a (little) strapped for cash (haha. Sad, I know). Get this: They have a seminar, that teaches you proper mechanisms behind the delivery of phone books (i.e. tells you to place books in front of customer door hinges so that they don’t trip, reveals how you can capture a 20% (!!!) bonus if you place each book @ the doorstep, & etc etc). So I bet you’re all wondering how you can get in on this in your own cities, right? Here are the stats, my friends:
1. Number of Phone books to deliver: 900 Larges + 900 Smalls
2. Payment: $130
3. 20% bonus: $26
Seriously, that works out to be 7.22 cents per book! BUT if you opt to shoot for that exclusive bonus, make that 8.66 cents per book, kids! Those capitalist bastards!
Sidenote about seminar: All the people in attendance were WOMEN!
