re: Anyone ever get a second job for fun/different experience?

When my mom was a journalist, she would often also teach classes on the side because she enjoyed doing so.

I considered getting a job at a shoe repair place just because it'd be cool to learn, but I'm way too busy to do that. I dunno, unless there's something you really want to do, or unless you really need the money, it's hard to justify working on your time off.

I work a 40-45 hour a week job that I enjoy and I spend every minute of my spare time reading, researching, or doing an enjoyable activity. I have contemplated adding a second job on the side but it would be a personal business that had a small clientele. I am not trying to interfere with my full-time job as I still have plenty of growth ahead in the field that I am in. My side job wouldn't be vastly different than what I do now, nor do I want to entertain the idea of being a bartender, referee, etc... I like working on computers, writing software, and studying data security. If I can grow within all areas I will be achieving life long goals along the way.
