Oh I feel you on the “how do I afford living” bit. I’m a senior software engineer—arguably the career people say makes some of the best money—and I still feel broke as fuck constantly.
(I mean I’m in the UK so it’s not Silicon Valley Monopoly money but STILL)
Seconding the question on what kind of PT stuff you’d go for, because I often consider the same.
I knew a wealthy financial advisor who got a part-time evening job at a gas station. I say wealthy but he also had five kids and a housewife so he needed all the money he could get his hands on.
I really thought that when I managed to get a ‘grown up’ job that the money thing would be much less daunting but I have been a fool there. It’s so weird to be ‘successful’ in your work yet not able to ever stop being paycheck to paycheck.
Anyway, back to the question…I work from home in my regular FT gig so I have been looking for simple but social work. For me, this means something in the service industry like working a door on weekends at pubs. I hate customer service but fuck me if it isn’t the only thing I can think of that keeps me chatting with people.
