Job on the side

[ToiletDuck]

I was wondering what jobs some of you have on the side. I have no family. Am a single 25yr old who's starting with Republic. I'll be based at CMH but am from texas so might spend time here. My background as far as schooling goes is all Aviation related from Baylor University. No other degrees(wish I could do that part over). Only other job experience I really have is 2yrs working in sales for Dell Computers(never buy them FYI) and as an editor for ABC news for a couple years. Before that I spent the previous 10yrs of my life farming. I was young when I started. Anyway just wondering what really is available. I'd like to hear what some of you actually do. I "hear" that insurance adjusting or selling is good as well as other things but don't know anyone that does it so it could all be just hyped up word of mouth BS. I'd appreciate respones.

Safe flying and have a nice evening,
Duck

National Companies

I recently got into a home-based business with a company called National Companies, that markets websites and direct selling discount programs. The company is growing really fast and I was able to start getting some pretty decent commission and bonus checks in the mail fairly quickly. The company offers unlimited resources for training and self improvement, and so far I have met a lot of great people, and learned alot. There are a lot of people in the company earning six figure incomes and doing it only part time, so I am pretty excited about the potential. Its a great side job for a pilot because you can do it with a laptop and cell phone from anywhere.

Sent me a private message if you would like some more info on the company.

delivering pizza pies is the the best way to make quick cash for extra income. Your not going to be rich, but certainly supplements your income a little better and once a in a while a chick will answer the door in her panties!

Pick up open time. You don't have to worry about chasing down another job, working for a second boss, or doing two things at once. Plus, you build flight time for upgrade, your next job, etc.

I understand open time is quite plentiful at RAH these days too...

Server, four hours of work walk out with $150 easily. Just make sure you work at a fine dining establishment. Skip the the ones with a big bar scene you'll work till 3am. Not worth it. If you can't afford to eat there, that's the place you want to work at.

Part-time (very flexable) aviation groundschool instruction. Walk away with $25 an hour and do it when you want - though I have to admit, I think it's only this way right now because of the shortage of flight instructors - but hey, it's bringing in a little extra cash.

I agree with one poster about not having to do any of this by just picking up open time. I think it's a great idea if there's plenty of O/T going at your place. I did this last month and walked away with a little extra cash.

But above all - really do try and save on eating out, dry cleaning, bills, gas - just spend less on it even if it mean by altering your lifestyle a little. It was HARD for me - but I did it, and now I think about how much I save, I think I've made a habit for life. I know this sounds cheap - but the more time I spend at work, the less gas I use in my car (as it sits in the employee car park). The less I spend outside on idle stuff. And as you're at work, I'd hope you're making a little extra cash too. As sad as the theory of 'live to work, not work to live sounds' but for me at my level it's keeping my head above water. I hope this will change.

Can't believe how much I used to waste (or overspend) before. DON'T get caught up in the habit when you earn a little more, so you spend a little more. This way you'll always remain in a rut. Hope this helps.
