What are some of the most lucrative, rewarding, interesting, great or awful "side gigs" - something you did that generated incoming money for you which was not your primary career - you've had or tried?
Don't be shy to share, even if it has nothing to do with Access or programming.
Something that was notable for any reason.
I'm curious to learn more about what people have done.
I'll start with a couple thoughts of my own.

- Profitable and rewarding: Side gig doing Microsoft programming (Access, Excel, VBScript, SQL) for small businesses
- Weirdest: Selling BLM face masks during covid/rioting
- Most immediate & total failure: Selling used cars
- Most Short Lived: Crypto investing
- Most proud of: Many years ago, at a time when doing so was necessary for my family to survive well, I collected cardboard boxes from Walmarts during the night and sold them as moving boxes to those who were planning a move. A few in my area were trying this, but I seemed to get most of the boxes each night! Making friends with the employees was a big part of it. So well it turned out, I continued it for about 2 years.
