If You Are Unskilled And Have No Job,

how does £20 an hour sound?

all you have to do is queue, photograph Melanie Pongratz/Unsplash, for the last three years, 31 year old Freddie Beckitt, a historical fiction writer from Fulham, London, has been supplementing his monthly income by working as a professional queuer, waiting in line on behalf of wealthy clients to the tune of £20 an hour, by virtue of being a Londoner, Beckitt says he has queuing “down to an art” and will easily spend hours standing in line, as long as someone is willing to pay him for it, “Honestly it came about by just stretching around here, there and everywhere, Taskrabbit enables you to list various different odd jobs and clients just select you from the roles you’ve listed,” Freddie told English tabloid, The Sun, “They listed lots of random low-skilled jobs and when I saw that I thought it was the easiest job in the world!”

Beckitt lists his waiting services on Taskrabbit, and says that most of his clients are well-to-do people who either don’t have the time to sit in lines themselves, or couldn’t be bothered to do it, most of his 'jobs' involve him waiting in line for tickets at popular events and shows, and while summer is definitely the busiest time, he has also had to wait in line outside in the dead of winter, “I worked eight hours for a job queuing for the V&A’s Christian Dior exhibition for some very well-to-do people around their mid-sixties,” Freddie said. “The actual queuing was just three hours but they asked me to collect their tickets too and wait for them to arrive, so I just had hours perusing the V&A museum being paid £20 an hour, it was great!”, Beckitt says that the flexibility it offers is a big bonus, “Unfortunately I don’t think I can charge any more than £20 an hour and it doesn’t require any skill or even hard work, but it gives me lots of flexibility to earn and fit it about my writing schedule,” he said, what a neat way to earn a bit of extra cash and you can bring your own collapsible chair and read a book!
