Second Job Suggestions/Should I Do It?

I'm mostly curious how you will have a full time job, and a "meaningful" second job will make a difference on the "money set aside for fun" part of the budget.

Same thing for watching sports.

You won't have time to use it. Trust me...I know.




I am getting lots of overtime...Good Friday was the first time I had more than one day off a week since Christmas. My investment accounts and wallet are really happy, my career aspects are looking good for the time I'm putting in, but my social life is nonexistant outside of texts, calls, and the very rare night out at the bar with friends.

Back to you though:

Its a tough one in the short term, with both a mortgage and car note within 6 months of graduation.

You might have to suck it up on the fun side to meet your savings goals.

Your best bet IMO is to pick up the second garbage job just to get more money in the bank, don't worry about any stigmas associated with "meaningless jobs."

At the end of the day the meaning of any job is to make money. frick what anyone else thinks.

Another part is to consider maybe cutting your expenses.

I don't know where you are at with that, but you can make a world of difference about being strategic on your food expenses.

If you're main career is the important one then who cares about the second job. Can you be a bartender somewhere so you can watch sports, have fun and make some money at the same time?

Is uber an option in your area? I live in Chicago and have been strongly considering picking up a few uber shifts over the weekend and before Cubs games.

nothing wrong with a second income- what did you graduate in?

Could always think about military reserve options. $300+ for two days a week a month, and that good primary job you have can't fire you why you are away for initial training.

Just my two cents...
