A part time thing

MdcnMn

I`m interested in starting a part-time or "weekend" home based something. Not sure where to begin, I`m not looking to replace my job or career, but a little something extra on the side would really help.  Any ideas will be greatly appriciated.  I live in Chicago, so the urban communities can be a possible starting ground...

How about becoming a virtual office assistant?

Well as far as skills go, I posses in depth knowledge of pharmaceuticals, I love Golf, Cars, and once again anything that has to do with pharmaceuticals.

Its a conundrum I tell you.
 
CraigL--good point, I think if I solve that riddle I might have the answer I`m looking for.  I`ll have to work on that this weekend.

Going off on a tangent, I have another idea...need some feedback.  I`ve noticed an increasing interest in wine these days, I read a article just recently in Fortune magazine talking about how fast the wind industry is growing. I`m from Chicago, and one thing I`ve noticed is that there`s a lack of wine bars.  I need feedback on this crazy idea of mine.

I don`t mind the research, but where do I start?  I think simply asking people about their interest in a wine bar would probably give some clue.

Maybe research the liquour laws in Illinois, is it too difficult to get and maintain? I`m from Chicago so I am familiar with the blues scene. Maybe you could open up a really nice cafe` that serves wine and offers great music.
 
Just a thought.....

The law is strict, but not impossible.  One needs patience to obtain a permit. 
businessbymittie--great idea, I think I`ll take a poll and suggestions to see where this idea might lead !
