Second Job Suggestions

[DOGTIRED]

Does anyone have suggestions on second jobs that work well for airline pilots?

I worked as a Chip-n-dales dancer---made BIG bucks--if you know what I mean.....BIG...

Substitute teach on days off.

 

[8HourPilot]

hey General,

you have seen the snl skit on that......right?

 

[BRA]

the idea of a manwhore is a relatively new idea.

 

[General Lee]

Yeah, I loved that skit. I looked more like Farley, though---but I could shake my a$$.

And BRA, I think that term is a "he-whore."

Bye Bye--General Lee

A part-time job in the computer industry is a good one. Try A+ certification or one many other types depending on intersts.

I second the sub teach job. It is easy and can be fun. I also worked for a grociery store, hours sucked, pay sucked and I got yelled at alot for calling in because I was flying. But, they never fired me.

A+ cert huh, I got that back in college, never thought much of it until now. Much for jobs out there that require only an A+ certification?

The best thing you can do is maximize your time, so here are a few suggestions since you already work at the airport.

1) Collect and return the SmarteCarts from parking lots and receive a shiny quarter for everyone returned.

2) Stand by the metal detectors at the airport, in uniform, with a sign saying something to the effect of "$20K Year Starving Pilot"

I find it best to use your hat to collect spare change. (Hmmm, maybe there is a use for our hats after all)

I totally agree. Your going to rub one off anyway, so you might as well donate it, and make some money! Donate your sperm, good luck to ya.

Part time entry level computer technician jobs requiring only an A+ certification are pretty easy to find at Mom and Pop computer shops, as well as the well known retail stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, and Comp USA.

Parttime Real Estate Sales.....

A laptop and a cell phone and your "office" can be any hotel or airport you are currently at.

Plus, those signs in people's front yards work for you day or night, everyday.

The hours are as flexible as you want them to be. You are an independant contractor to the broker, so you don't "punch a clock". You are basically your own boss!

Most states require a course or training of some sort with a state examination to get your license. Pretty trivial material and very doable.

The market is really strong right now with all the low interest loans and government "no/little money down" programs. It's not uncommon for a parttime Real Estate Salesperson to make 30-40K per year. Try doing that at Circuit City, Best Buy, or the grocery store.

My vote is on real estate.

Substitute teaching

We had students at MAPD who were substitute teachers. I don't remember exactly because this was ten years ago, but some of them might not have had degrees, and I am sure they did not have teacher credentials. That surprised me because I always thought that one had to have a degree and teacher credentials to teach in public schools. This was in Farmington, New Mexico, which might not have had the most state-of-the-art school system. Other school systems may have more stringent requirements, but it's still worth checking out.

Substitute teach as someone said before. Here, they pay $50 a day, and there's no specific schedule. There always looking for new people to throw to the wolves, and the job seems easy. Just sit there, yell at kids, and send them to the office.

I bartended for a while. Good job with LOTS of fringe benefits!

"Hey Mav, what was the name of that truck driving school?"

"Truck Masters wasn't it?"

Where I live it's $94 for a full day of 7 hours. Legal fringe benefits can be available from the new young female teachers especially at the elementary schools.

In FL anyone who is not a registered sex offender can sub.

In MN you need to have a license.
