I had no clue that you need to properly service your septic tank to keep the environment clean. My wife and I are looking at buying a house that has a septic tank. If we get it, I’ll be sure it is taken care of regularly because we both love nature.

A bit Crappy ;-), but good idea and not a lot of people will fight you for your turf I guess.

John, your motivation to work is what made this country of ours strong. Of course septic cleaning isn’t a sexy job; if you were looking for one, then at the end of the day, who would be resolving the issue when something wrong happens? It definitely won’t be the other.

Also, $12/hr. is able to pay off tuition by working for a summer – of course, depending on the school you go to. Either way, that side money plus the 20% you and your significant other are saving will do you wonders in the future!

I respect that you do septic cleaning. It is something that many others may not have even heard of, but it is something so important when it comes to taking care of our “personal cares.” This is a solid line of work that benefits the lives of many others, they just won’t realize it until it is time to do it.

$12 an hour will really start to add up, especially since you’re saving so much. This proves that side jobs are out there, sometimes finding one just requires thinking outside the box.

AMEN, BROTHER– I, too, would choose the septic tank work over chilling with mass #s of kids at a daycare and changing diapers! Will take the big pass on that! Ew! I loved your article and you rock– get some! connieK., who has wanted to work in public relations at a local landfill for YEARS, because landfills are their own living breathing beings! SO COOL!
