I sold ice cream. You had to buy your supply first at cost and then sell everything at a set mark-up price which then earned you enough money to buy the next batch. Anything extra on top of that was yours to keep. It was slow selling in the morning but I sold out of everything by the end of the event and made $75 cash that day. For a first year college student, that was pretty good cash at the time. It was a good experience but definitely, was physically exhausting to do day after day.

Yeah, I don't doubt that it's hard (physical) work, but that's some decent coin. I think $150 for two or three hours of work for an average baseball game is pretty good.
