Jon Gosselin has found himself a day job.

After months of unemployment, the former TLC reality star (and onetime technology worker) has found a new gig as a construction worker in Pennsylvania, TMZ reports.

The 33-year-old father of eight began work with Green Point Energy earlier this week, where he's been hard at work installing solar panels on the roof of a storage building.

Jon -- who split with wife Kate, 35, in 2009 after she learned of his affair with school teacher Deanna Hummel -- first showed signs of money trouble last April.

"Jon is selling his BMW to raise cash until he gets a job," an insider told UsMagazine.com at the time. "He's hoping to get $25,000 for it." (Jon bought the used M3 last year for $30,000.)

Oh OK. I see. Kate the sk@nk hasn't done anything "newsworthy" in going on 2 months! On her way to oblivion thank GOD! Even TLC has to be embarassed by their past behavior in supporting trash like Kate. I hope they've wised up and looked for some real talent for their network. Time to stop wasting air time for Sk*nky Katie.

THE most hysterical story over on AOL News today. Kate wants Jon back b/c she misses him! OMG I hope he never gives that witch another second of his time, except when it comes to his kids. Can you even imagine what the Kate a%% kissers would have to do? OMG, they have been defending Queen B&tch for so long and slamming Jon....they wouldn't know how to act while their leader tries to win him back. After everything she's said about him and after all of her "fans" take her lead cuz they don't have enough brain cells to realize they diss Jon when they don't even know him....it'd be hysterical to watch y'all "backtrack" your past feeble, pathetic statements about a man you don't know! I KNEW she'd fade away eventually; unfortunately it took longer than I expected. Better late than never. What's up w/ her show? Did TLC finally realize her 5 fans couldn't keep the show on air?

Does somebody really get paid at TMZ to travel, locate and photograph JG?! Sad, pathetic and lame.

Without the last name Gosselin, Kate is nothing, that's why. And for those whining that he is sitting on the phone smoking, how can you NOT see the other workers in the photo also sitting on their rears to either side of him...OBVIOUSLY they are on a break.

Good for him, he is doing what he has to do. I wish all men provide for their kids, especially after a divorce... many of them get amnesia.

Love it Janet Daniels Maranville I also have to wonder why Kate has not ditched Gosslin as her last name.
February 19, 2011 - 3:54pm Janet Brinton Daniels Maranville
Does anyone ever stop and think what all this publicity and freebies are doing to all of the kids. The twins have so many problems and the sextuplets are downright obnoxious. To top it all of two of them got removed from school? John didn't cause this problem.Even if they had never split what kind of example has Kate ever set? All of her screaming and demanding more and more. Those poor kids never stood a chance to begin with since selfish Kate was their Mother.

Well at least he is doing something. No matter what he does Kate will take his cash. There are so many single Moms out there that are in need far more that good ol Kate. Why don't we quit giving her & her kids freebies and help a few Moms that deserve it?

February 19, 2011 - 12:58am Janice Payne
awwww poor fella maybe he should sell some of his fat stomach to skinny models. He is trash. that tiny BMW with that many kids REAL SMART. 25,000 wont even cover child support for 8 kids..and you wanna stop kate from doing plus 8 your an idiot of the worst kind.

The fact that you idiots comment on some has been like John Gosselins life is a testament to how badly you need to get a life. Seriously, get a hobby.
February 19, 2011 - 12:15am Gabriel John Chasse
Well-he had his 15 minutes of fame.Ill wager Kates reign of glory has pretty much ended too.Honestly-I think the 2 of them will get back together someday.

Kate can go die in a hole she is a hoe. Jon go do your thing and sue for child support.
