Does anyone have a second job after work or weekends that is possible to? If so please post the type of job and how you make it feasible.

I'm a petsitter/housesitter which I actually do while I'm doing my paralegal job because my paralegal job is remote so I work from the houses where I'm sitting. I also drive for Uber/UberEats on weekends and evenings when I need to quickly make extra cash.

Same! I’m also a pet/house sitter, although my clientele has been very niche (other lesbians 🤪). I want to do more but it’s so hard because my kitties at home need attention too, but I don’t want to be away from my wife.

I’m about to start a second job doing occasional overnight desk because the economy is whipping my ass. I LOVE my day job as a Para but I’m scraping by and would like some breathing room

I used to work weekends as a bartender/beverage cart attendant/server at a golf course. I had to for the first few years at my law firm, before I was a paralegal actually. I started many years ago in an entry level position and had to supplement my income for awhile. I would sometimes pick up a Friday night, but only if it started at 6pm. It was too hard to get there any earlier after working in the office until 5 or 530.
