    Is there any professional job you'd be willing to either do for free, or for next to nothing – simply because you'd enjoy the task?

    I have proof read and edited papers for ppl in college (Bachelor & Masters. Once wrote a paper for a friend getting his PhD).

    I have edited fotos for ppl (fixed contrast, reduced for Web posting, cleaned them up).

    I used to give professional "Supportive Touch" massages as a volunteer at hospitals/nursing homes for ppl with AIDS, and for fund raising events. Participated in a study on the benefit of massage to the immune system with other professional massage therapists.

    co-signs Maybe if I was financially independent I could see myself volunteering for some worthy cause but right now I like eating too much and sleeping with a roof over my head to work for free.

    If I were financially independent I would do some work with the elderly. Maybe volunteer a few days in a nursing home but the staff would not like me because I would actually care.

    I suppose tutoring/mentoring students would be a possiblity--I wouldn't feel right about taking money from someone struggling to learn something that I had the knowledge to help teach it to them.
