Jon Gosselin Works in Construction Now

Jon Gosselin used to be on the very popular TLC series Jon & Kate Plus 8. The show was doing really well and it was assumed Jon raked in a lot of cash. Jon and Kate then went through a very messy and very public divorce. Jon could have gotten a lot of sympathy but he ran around acting like a douchebag. Not only that, it looks like he squandered away all his money on cigarettes, hair plugs and Ed Hardy t-shirts because this lumpy mess had to find a real job.

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.

Meanwhile, Kate Gosselin is laughing all the way to the bank. The only way she’ll ever do hard labor is if she has another kid.
