Apparently scientifically engineering a family of ten for fame and fortune doesn't pay what it used to. Man, that sucks. TMZ reports:

Sporting a rhinestone-free safety harness and hardhat -- former reality star Jon Gosselin was laboring away at his new J.O.B. this week ... installing solar panels on the roof of a storage building. The ex-computer technician scored a gig with Green Pointe Energy -- a Pennsylvania-based company that specializes in renewable energy. Those Ed Hardy shirts don't pay for themselves ...

Let's be honest, Jon Gosselin is an irresponsible jackass who whored out his kids for a free hair transplant and a Buckle credit card, but I'm seriously surprised he's still alive. Yes, he cheated on Kate, but what the fuck was his alternative? Blowing his brains out? I can't even stand be in the same room with that sanctimonious bitch when she's in HD. If I had to live with that chick, there's a good chance "how to decapitate yourself with a bear trap" might be in my Google search history.
