Weekend Job Ideas
Posted on 2/1/14 at 1:23 pm
Posted on 2/1/14 at 1:23 pm
I'm 23 and I currently have an engineering job with a large company in Atlanta. I work 40 hours a week, and would like to earn some extra money as well as gain good experience in something outside of engineering.
I enjoy real estate, so I am considering calling local real estate agents to see if I can help with paperwork, showing houses, etc.
Any other ideas on weekend jobs to look into? I'm not sure where to even start.

If you're already working 40 hours a week, why would you want to spend more of your life doing that?
Hang out with your friends and family, have fun. You're 23, you have the rest of your life to work.

Oh, and to the OP - good for you for not getting the memo that there aren't any jobs.

What a great work ethic. Nice job.
If you are serious about real estate. I would suggest joining us over on [link=(www.biggerpockets.com)]bigger pockets[/link] and getting to know the local RE guys in Atlanta.

Take the notary test and get in with RE agents to do the signings
Or is it Attorneys in GA?

Prob not what you want to hear, but for almost everyone your career is your most valuable asset. I'd try and figure out who/what type of industry pays the best in your field/discipline. Find out what it will take to get on with them once you get your PE and make sure you are on that path. Find that niche or industry that will maximize your career.

Some will probably blast me for this. I believe that if you are 23 years old and “only” working 40 hours a week you are doing it wrong. Every one of my successful friends spent more than 40 hours week early in their career doing what they had to do to advance. I would say you should get to work early, stay late, and take on extra projects so that you are more valuable to your employer. Presumably you have an engineering degree. If so, you spent 4 years studying for that profession. At 23 years of age you haven’t been at it long enough for your education to take you very far. For at least the next several years your objective should be to give your current profession your best shot. Now if you hate your job then that is a different matter.
