what kind of stuff do you normally do? what is "good money" in terms of USD?

I do mostly engineering, and by that I mean I may do anything from backing up someones data to assembling Ikea furniture at an office in Midtown. I bring in sometimes $600 extra a month for meeting cool people and doing shit I generally like doing anyway.

EDIT: I'm learning Rails right now and doing Tasks to bring money in while I learn... It would be so rad to work for them as a Rails dev one day. Circle of life, man.

I thought I'd heard pretty much every creative interpretation of the word "engineering" possible but have to admit - you got me with the IKEA furniture assembly.
