I saw this bit on the Register about the 2010 Census and started to think about giving it a go to bring in a little extra cash. Part time, temporary, seems easy enough. Then my kid started crying and I snapped back into the reality of my current job. (Mothers should get paid. Just sayin!)

According to the Register, the pay ranges from $17 to $20 per hour. You’ll get training and assigned to part-time projects that can last up to several weeks. Duties include address canvassing, interviewing, and other office work. If you’re actively looking for a gig — maybe one that involves driving around the OC and talking to your neighbors — definitely check out the US Census Bureau’s site for more information.
