So... I am seeing my job hours rapidly decreasing as it relies a lot on the student economy which is basically zero right now. It's nice because I hate spending time at work, but only working 5-6 hours a day 4 days a week is possibly not enough money for me to live off of.
I am looking both into getting a new job AND into investing into "real" skills aka certifications, etc., but in the mean time (and especially because how often do I actually pull through with my plans ::)) I'm trying to figure out how/if I can make cash on the side doing things that I find fun instead of "work".

Obviously, the first thing I though of was cooking/baking of some sort. So I am in the process of trying to cost out some recipes and see if it would be at all fruitful to sell anything to the public. I don't know what I would do... Post an ad on craigslist? Set up a stand and hope no one kicks me out? Bring a bag of cookies to bars/concerts and see if I can get drunk people to buy them?

Anyone have experience with this kind of stuff? How did you turn something fun into money, how did you do it, how hard was it, do you still do it, more/less time invested than you envisioned, etc.?

I don't really know what this thread is about, but I want some ideas from a smart, creative bunch of people.

ETA: I should add that cutting costs isn't really going to happen as the only area I could do that in is food. I already live on about 10K a year.. maybe. No car, rent+bills only about $400... yeah...

ETA2: Main reason I am worrying a bit is because my parents might be moving for a job for my dad, which means my mom won't be at her job, which means her amazing health care, that somehow I get to be on until I am 25 even though I haven't been a dependent for 6 years and have been out of school for 1.5 years, will not be available to me. Yet another expense.
