When I got tired of the months long jobhunt I put all my efforts into posting a good resume on craigslist. I was hired in a week. Not that it helps you any. dublin craigslist kinda blows.

myself and my brothers used to do that when we were 12/13, awesome way to make money! well, for a kid. wouldn't want to have to rely on that to buy the bread for a woman though.

Lots of festivals going on over the summer. I'm sure you could get work at one of them. Nice long hours - good for an hourly rate.

Step 1
Challenge someone to a race around the world. First one back gets the other persons car.
Step 2
dismantle that car and rebuild it into half a robot and half a time machine.
Step 3
Use the time machine half to go back in time to when robot wars was still on
Step 4.
Enter robot wars.
step5.
Win robot wars.
Step 6
Enter the lotto because you will know the numbers from the future.
Step 7
Bask in the glory of winning robot wars and being a millionaire.

What exactly did you expect?

"Oh actually now that you mention it I made billions of euro by way of positive thinking"?

It's half past 2 on a Monday, do you think any of us have jobs?

pray to a tree stump.

1. Buy (or better catch) a rat. Make sure it's very aggressive.

2. Put it in the cage and go to popular location, tourists attraction point.

3. Make a banner: "Pet the rat, Irish lucky rat, only €1".

Wait until someone pets the rat. If the rat will be enough aggressive, it'll bite your customer.

4. After customer is being bitten, switch your banner to:
"Get your bandages here, bandages only €10".

5. After another satisfied customer, change the banner to:
"Rat has rabies, get your vaccine here, only €50..."

Sell the car and get one of those Fisher Price steering wheels. Stick it in your front window, make engine noises, spray spit on the glass, and pretend that you're driving your house.

Lots of people would pay money to see that.

I think the main part of your plan is missing.

You could get all the freebie items on adverts.ie or wherever and then sell them somewhere else.

Expand it further. Offer your services as an errand boy to old ladies (and men sure why not). Charge them a mere tenner a week. 50 old ladies = 500 Euro a week. You'll be busy but you'll be earning tax free.

Set up an online shop or ebay and sell goods bought from wholesalers or even start drop shipping

Cut down a few trees and hope one of the stumps has some grains/rings that somehow vaguely resemble the virgin Mary. Put it on eBay where it will be bought by that stupid American casino company.
