Jen “Odd” Glantz here! I’m back in Florida visiting my parents and when I’m home, I work downstairs with the TV on all day.
I love working with background noise and also, when the TV is on, I learn things.
Some of the things I learn are pointless (like how to make salmon tacos…I’m a vegetarian) or how much the price of gas is right now in my local city (I don’t drive).
BUT, I did pick up a lot of interesting things too. LIKE SO MANY ODD JOBS! I’m sharing those with you today below. All of these jobs I learned about just by watching a ton of local news and television.
Keep scrolling, my odd friends.
Ps. know someone who would adore this newsletter?
Odd Jobs I Learned About While Watching Television

Sell Items from Retailers
I’ve seen this gig a lot on Instagram - people who buy pallets of items or returned goods from retailers. A lot of retailers have pallets of items that didn’t arrive on time and now they sell them, at a discounted rate, to people who want to buy them and then resell those items on their own website, on re-sale sites like Poshmark, or even through social media.
You can check out how to make money selling Amazon pallets here or just how to find pallets in general here.
