Work Multiple Jobs Part Time or Full Time or Combination


With the financial pressure that is getting into nerves more and more these days, many husband or wife or single parents must work more than two jobs. I, myself, used to have 1 full time job in corporate finance and also 1 part time job in fashion retail (totally the opposite) during the weekend and some weeknights years ago. It was fun though, I must say since I was not looking for the financial merit per se, but it was more like a pleasure for me.



Now, when one decides or has to to take 2 full time or 2 part time jobs or more here are my suggestions:


1.  Secure the job offers and evaluate the rewards. Answer yourself honestly are you really in it for long term or just for short term so that your mental health is ready for what you are up to.
2.  Stay healthy. This means managing what food intakes you nourish your body and what kind of exercise you can slip-in in a week.
3. Discuss with family, especially your children and your spouse since you will be away from them more often
4. Time is the main factor that you can manage, by squeezing as many jobs you want to do based on time schedule, unless you work from home, where you might do or run 2 full time or part time jobs simultaneously such as becoming remote data administration for IBM from home and at the same time becoming online-seller in Amazon and Ebay. The key is that, you must manage well.
5. Some examples of 2 full time or part time jobs that can be taken but not worked simultaneously are: corporate secretary during the day and night-auditor in a hotel during night shift; UPS clerk worker during the day and Walgreen night shift supervisor during the night; coffee shop barista during the day and grocery cashier during night shift; running and baking bakery during the day and waitressing in a restaurant at night; etc. 






Some people are so good and ambitious in doing multiple jobs, such as: being a realtor but also multilevel marketing and insurance agent, as well as selling merchandise online. If you can maintain your sanity and manage your time and your family, then by all means, do it and enjoy it. Otherwise, be honest to yourself and take less jobs but do it well and then you can be happy in life.
