I was thinking night shift security, but they wouldn't let you fuck around on an ipad you have to keep eyes glued to the monitors. And with unrest coming up again I wouldn't want to be out there getting assaulted just trying to make a few bucks.

My plan is to just move to a low cost of living city and work part-time to pay rent/bills. If you live a frugal lifestyle and hussle a bit to put food on the table then you can probably negotiate more hours to spend on your craft.
