I agree that waitressing and bartending can be a great way to make money in the short term - plus it will be really easy to meet people.

Yeah it's a pitiful $10/hour.

I get almost $15 here. Which isn't brilliant, but I get by pretty well!

I guess my next plan is to try and save even more money before coming out to try and lift some money pressure!
