Most of my jobs have been "unreported income" and not really things I can put on my CV. For example, one winter I earned a bit of cash selling Christmas trees with my friend who'd gotten some crazy deal on about 500 of them of varying sizes and species. My duties included unloading the truck, taking money, giving change and acting surprised when cops showed up.

My stance on it is, if you make it hard for people to earn a living or throw too much paperwork in front of them, they'll go do whatever they want to make sure they've got some money in their pockets.
