I mean currently, beside your main full time job, what other jobs do you have? Or do you work part time? If so, how many part time job do you have? Let's say we count discussion in mylot.com as a part time job, i guess i have 2 jobs. Actually, i have thoughts of finding another part time job to earn that extra money for future uses... I am just curious on the fact that how many people would actually do a few jobs while they are able just to earn that extra money.

My main full time job is working from home online writing articles for an internet company. This is a proper job, as I have tasks and deadlines which I have to meet. It is not full time, and I earn $600 per month from this job. In fact, I earn more from my other smaller jobs than I do from my actual main job; but I don't really mind because as long as I'm getting the money I suppose it doesn't really matter where I'm getting it from, does it. As long as I have everything that I need for my family and myself, that's all that matters to me.

Hi GemmaR, thanks for sharing! Writing job, you are a writer then? What do you usually write about, can you share? And wow, there's 2 more interested parties in writing alone... haha... I already have a hard time coming up with materials to discuss about in mylot... i can only avidly try to participate in different discussions... What are the other small jobs you have? How do you define small? temporary?

I got one more job. I am glad to be given the opportunity to write online. It also pays more than my regular/ day job. I guess I got the extra energy. I do sleep an hour before I start again when I come home from my regular work. I see to it that before 11pm I am sleeping. My health is my biggest asset so I take good care of it. I do squeeze a free once a week teaching job in church too but as that is my service to God.

Not so long ago, I had a full time job, two part-time jobs, I was going to school at nights, and my youngest son was born. I found that I couldn't take that much stress. So, I just found myself one full time job which had a pay equivalent to my old full time, plus the two part time (and even more). Nowadays, it's just a full time and myLotting.

Hi bounce, thanks for sharing again! Haha! Wow, you are sure lucky! I hope I can find a job like that too... But a higher paid job would mean a higher responsibility at work right? Do you end up bringing work home sometimes?

Yes it has higher responsibilities. I try not to bring work home. I just find myself working longer hours.

I don't have a job as of this moment. I just resigned about 3 months ago. The only paying site that I visit is myLot so I think this is my only job. Hopefully I will be able to get a new day shift job by then end of the month.

I actually consider myLot recreation with benefits. My real job is my book business. That means listing books on line, shipping, ordering, dealing with customers, etc. My book business is mostly on line, but I do occasionally see people, as well. I also write at HubPages, SQuidoo, and Wizzley and occasionally at HubNuggets. I'm also a wife who is responsible for shopping, preparing meals, light housework laundry, and other things I can't think of. Since I do work at home, I usually have some flexibility in my day, though some days I have no orders to ship and others I have almost more than I can handle. I love having this flexibility and not having to run a physical store that would take me away from home every day.

I do all sorts of jobs, all part-time. It is necessary to make ends meet. Nowadays it is difficult to survive with only one income. One has to work left and right in order to cope with expenses.

Hi cutie18f, thanks for sharing! I understand what you mean. In our society, money is never enough as the prices is always increasing. So how do you plan your part-time jobs? like how many do you work a day? 2-3? i am assuming you have flexible shift hours too right?
