Anyone here with a full time job and a part time job? | |
| Marvelous Man Offer Upgrade  User ID: 58686169  United States12/04/2022 11:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have a full time job but obviously it doesn't pay enough to cover everything (married with HS kid). Having HS kid is expensive! My wife has a full time job but good portion of it goes to insurance, retirement, etc unfortunately. So I looked around for a 2nd part time job to work around my full time job for extra money and applied at big box store for the hell of it. The application process is weird. Nothing like traditional way like I'm used to in the past. A bot was in charge of online application process so I filled out everything a bot tells me to do. I got approval for 30 minutes interview with a live person so I went to that interview just a few days later. We started chatting about stuff, asked me questions, etc. Got offered a job right on the spot at manageable working times (a lot better than I had hoped for) as long as I pass drug test and background check. Oh yeah, it pays better!  There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. |

| Marvelous Man (OP) User ID: 58686169 United States12/04/2022 11:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I started learning to study stock charts and developing a trading plan about 18 months ago. I consider that my part time job for now, but if I have a couple of more years where it consistently out performs my normal job, that will probably change. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36531245 Cool. Is it a lot of work to get there for so long? There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. |

But, I often entertain the idea of a PT just to help me retire that much sooner. I really don't know how much more I can participate in this bizarro world we're living in. I'd drop out today if i thought my investments would carry me comfortably to retirement. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 83107837 United States12/04/2022 12:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No part time job yet, but I'm looking for one that aligns with my schedule. I get tons of offers from recruiters for full time contract work, but nobody seems desperate enough yet to entertain 20 hrs/week on nights and weekends. I don't know why - IT db, dev & testing work can be done pretty much any time, anywhere there's a good internet connection. I need to stay with my FT role for another year or so to hit the right retirement years of service level. |

High school kid should also get a part time job, just a few hours a week if working for strangers; significantly more if older and able to work for (extended) family and/or close friends of the family learning a trade. |

Actually the new job is apparently a stepping stone toward learning a new trade. We’ll see how that turns out in the future. There are two ways to be fooled.
