I actually like this idea. I would never do this myself, but for the right type of person this would be perfect.

I live in Atlanta - want to be a nanny starting around Halloween?

Change your name to Stew?

Sorry, that was corny. It beats me what you should do, just don't sit idle while your car rots.

This also has promise. Something I could do just for the summer, anyway.

I'm terrible with kids. Plus, given my third constraint, I'm a little unnerved that you would offer.

You could go straight into waiting tables without experience. It's a very low paying job, especially at places like Applebee's, Olive Garden and other restaraunts that market themselves toward uncouth lower-middle class types or whatever.

I'll second the collecting unemployment move. Take advantage of that for a few months while you figure out what you want to do.

There's some training and education involved, but I would suggest real estate.
