Gotta know a guy.

This seems flip, but server and bartender jobs mostly you’ll get to keep your cash tips with varying degrees of how much you need to claim on taxes and the hourly paid out regular in a check. (Sometimes declaring cash tips by the book, sometimes it’s calculated as percentage of sales.)

For everything else, you have to know a guy, ask around, gig on Craigslist.

You’ll be shopping for a place on the east side of PVD in eight months. I did that commute for 4 years. Deep throating a cactus is more enjoyable. I bought a house here and only get back to Cambridge once or twice a year.

You know there's a problem when the majority of posters are saying Chomp.

Don't get me wrong. I order from Chomp somewhat frequently, and I do enjoy it, but it's really nothing to get excited about. It just isn't.

Also, I found that if I booked like 3 weeks in advance on amtrak, the daily tickets are really cheap, and u can cancel. And get a refund towards another ticket. MBTA to work, Amtrak to get home fast.

I think if you live within walking distance of Ruggles (commuter rail only), Back Bay or South Station (both Amtrak and commuter rail), then this is sustainable. Else you’d have to connect via the T which adds stress, time and unpredictability.
