Kinkos might work OK, except for the folks I'd be working with. But I'd get to work with paper. Mmmm...paper. And they'd probably appreciate someone with some troubleshooting skills.

Bike shop...I'd think they'd want someone with repair experience. But I dunno.

I may also at least call the froo-froo guitar shop down town. My gut feeling is that they almost never hire, and when they do, they'd prefer someone who can double as a repairperson / teacher. But it's worth a shot. And maybe I could convince 'em to start carrying my favorite brands. Ya never know.

I could sell guitars. I know I could. And they need a website. I couldn't make one other than something really basic, but I might be able to convince 'em to make one. This is the closest shop to carry fancy brands for a lot of folks in the area and north of here, and if they had more of a presence, they could do really well, like the guitar shop in Littleton, NH, which has expanded a LOT over the past five years.

Sorry...got carried away with muh daydreamin' there.

Most of the Kinko's here have computer resources too. If your's there do too, they might be looking for someone to help customers use the computers.

You'd be surprised how producing even a basic website can impress people who don't know how to do one at all. It's not a bad idea at all.

They do so much more with computers these days, that you could have some skills they need! So many people go into the stores and are clueless about how the machines work, and even if you DO know how to work a computer, you have to follow the recipe for THEIR computers, and it can be a bit intimidating for folks.

How about going to the local school's music dept., local homeschool group, and music stores to see if you could put up fliers for private lessons...just a thought...they make good money here...at least $10.00 for half an hour and tax free.
