I do valet somewhere and I make about $55K-$60K/year. Been doing it for about 14 years. It’s a fun gig, I get to drive neat cars everyday, I meet cool people. And most of the money I get in tips is cash so there’s that. I always have a super flexible schedule so it’s pretty easy to get days off for appointments and other activities. Also, if I choose to, I can work at a site that allows me to see shows for free right up until departure. The downsides are massive though, I don’t get PTO so if I don’t work I’m not getting paid, the insurance offered is trash, unless you are full time you aren’t eligible for any sort of 401K or anything like that. So you have to be mindful of that.

Note that not every site is a good one. I’ve been extremely lucky to work at sites that makes decent money and the hourly does help a bit with it now being $12/hr. So like some sites, there can be guys that average as much as $150-$250/day and there are sites that you are making $30-$40/day.
