I recently quit my job and I'm planning on taking some classes over the summer. It would be really nice if during this period I had a non-negative (or at least less negative) cash flow.<p>Does anyone have advice on how to find potential part time work for a start-up this summer?<p>Here's a taste of my background:<p>I attended Wesleyan University, from 2004-2008. In '08 I applied for YCombinator, got an interview, but didn't get accepted. I continued with the project and eventually handed it over to another undergraduate at Wesleyan, but the site hasn't really changed since I handed over ownership. You can check it out here: http://collegeacb.com<p>After graduating from Wesleyan I have been working for a large heath care software company in Wisconsin. The job was not intellectually stimulating, and the technology we use is outdated, so I'm quitting.<p>Here are a few things I know that I can do well:
* PHP/MySQL
* Write valid XHTML/CSS markup.
* Decent sense of design (check out my portfolio here - http://orionstudiomadison.com).
* C/C++ (wrote my thesis in C++).<p>Some things where I'm more fuzzy, but will be expanding my knowledge over the summer:
* JavaScript/JavaScript libraries (mootools)
* Qt C++ UI framework
* PHP MCV framework (CakePHP, Zend or CodeIgniter)
* Maybe Ruby
* Joomla<p>I'm living in Madison, WI so unfortunately any places outside of the area I would have to telecommute. Are there any places out there that would consider employing me part time or do you think I should just work on some of my own ideas while I'm taking classes?<p>Any advice is greatly appreciated.
