ojf1982 0 #2 November 12, 2001 I have an idea, its called WORK. Find a job, its not gonna be cheap unless you start working at a DZ.And why do you keep putting your height, weight, and age? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #3 November 12, 2001 Best advice, Go to your local DZ, Talkt to the DZO (Dropzone Owner), explain your situation, and ask him if you could pack to pay for your jump. It might take a month or two to afford it, but that way you make friend at te DZ and learn alot about jumping before you take your First Jump Class.A rainy day at the DZ is better then a Sunny day at work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewGuy 0 #6 November 12, 2001 I'd wait then until you've secured a good, well paying job. Skydiving isn't something that can be done on the cheap. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ojf1982 0 #8 November 12, 2001 If you cant find a job, then you shouldnt plan on jumping. It is a very expensive sport to start off in, so dont get your hopes too high now. Find a job and save enough money then. There is one more solution. Credit Cards. But this eventually could lead to bigger problems.Skydiving is not a sport, it is a way of life!Omar B-24801 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zennie 0 #9 November 12, 2001 Quotei cant help you out i am not a jumper yet im am a wannabeOK this is getting downright obnoxious.It's bad enough that you keep asking the same questions over and over even though people have clearly and exhaustively answered them. But posting under a pseudonym and holding conversations with yourself just to keep your threads at the top is totally out of line. Hey Bossman, Skybytch. Y'all should know me well enough to know I have a very long fuse, and I'm generally against censorship. But this kind of behavior seems to be an appropriate justification for a site ban."Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control. Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper."

diver123 0 #11 November 12, 2001 Okay Clinton...If you fly out to one of the local dz's out here, I'll donate 50 dollars toward your first jump.The catch: You can't post again until after you do it! I'm sure there are some lawns to be mowed, cars to be washed, dogs to be walked, dishes to be done, or a couple spare baseball caps that you can take down to the nearest corner, turn upside down, and start talking to people until they pay you to stop... "pull high! It's lower than you think..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #14 November 12, 2001 Personally, I've started to donate plasma, since they pay some decent cash for not much of your time. It's crap that I'm pimping my body out for $$ but it's jump $$, and a jump is a jump...AggieDave '02-------------Blue Skies and Gig'em Ags!BTHO t.u.

PhreeZone 20 #15 November 12, 2001 I can think of funner ways to pimp out my body, but all of them are illegal (execpt in Nevada). And it would deffinatly increase the first number of my weekend ratio Just remember with blood donations and Plasma, you should be grounded for at least 48 hours to give your body time to recover....A rainy day at the DZ is better then a Sunny day at work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

indyz 1 #18 November 12, 2001 You might want to consider medical experiments, too. A few days ago, I saw a guy putting up a sign-up sheet for unspecified medical experiments ("$8 to $12 per hour!") in the common area of my dorm. That was right after breakfast. When I came back that night, all of the spaces were filled, to the tune of 40-50 names, and it had spilled over into the margins for another twenty or thirty names. --Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #19 November 12, 2001 Usually it's some sort of "biologicals" company, try looking something like that up. Or call the local redcross and ask who in your area does that sort of stuff.AggieDave '02-------------Blue Skies and Gig'em Ags!BTHO t.u. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #20 November 12, 2001 The kick-ass ones are if you can get on in a sleep study at a medical college. You get paid to sleep!!! Sure you are hooked up to 3 or 4 machines, but thats a small price to pay to get jump tickets while you sleep A rainy day at the DZ is better then a Sunny day at work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #22 November 13, 2001 When I was in college I did like 5 of these medical studies.I specialized in tropical disease vaccine testing. They were trying to find the most effective dosing schedule. I just had to get shots and give blood like 10 times over 6 months.I did Chikun-Gunya Fever and some others I forgot. At the time, it was pretty good beer money. JustinMy Homepage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
