A professor writes in hoping for some suggestions regarding summer employment.

My department has limited our summer teaching and some of us are wondering: what do lower-paid philosophers do in the summer if not teach, if they need to supplement their annual income? There are research grants (internal and external), of course, but not many people will get those. We are off contract in the summer and so could do other work.

I suspect that of particular interest would be types of work that make use of the types of skills philosophers tend to have, but outside-the-vat ideas would be welcome, too. Tips on how to find the kinds of positions discussed would be useful, too.

Suggestions, readers?
