re: What did you have to do for extra drinking money while at LSU?

Worked as a research assistant in weed science department (part of the Agriculture program), as a tutor. In grad school I worked as a research assistant for one of my professors and helped writ a book and a couple articles. Nothing sexy but it kept spare change in my pocket.

Between undergrad and going back, I worked at the French Market in New Orleans selling stuff on weekends and in a law office during the week.
