In my opinion NO and there are a number of reasons why, some obvious and others maybe you have not thought of.
Lets start with the reasons why you would want evening jobs or even weekend jobs, most common is I need extra money to pay the bills, pay for studies or buy a new item which you cant
currently afford. Although common among the masses these are not good motives for having to give up your evenings and weekends just to work another part time job… Stay with me not as I
explain why this is not a good idea and also disclose another options available to you.
One of the biggest reasons why part time work is not worth it is because as with everything there is a price, the price is high for some and low for others, these include but are not limited to…
- Family time, you loose the limited amount of time you have for your family, even if the cause is to support the family the cost is to high in the long run
- Your time, you loose out on one of the most precious assets you have and can never get back.
- Rest, every human being needs rest, working a full time job and a part time evening job will wear you out in a couple months and once this happens you run the risk of loosing both due to poor performance.
- Knowledge, If you are dedicating all your time to work when are you going to get time to learn mew skills or further develop your existing skills
- Social, working your job in the evening or the weekend needless to say kills your social life and you will find you existing relationships drifting away over time.
So that’s the bad side now lets look at the good side…
Someone once told me “The average person (The guy not working evenings or weekends) has on average 3 hours everyday day available to further develop himself, the person who invests this time in developing himself or learning a new skill will be the one who goes on to prosper in his / her life, the others about 95%+ who just pull up to the TV will most likely always be stuck working in a job and never break free into really living, to a business owner or entrepreneur we like this 95% because they become our worker bees and do everything for us so we can enjoy the real life”
Food for thought I hope.
So now that I have talk to you about why you should not get the Part Time Job in the evening or on the weekends, lets talk about some other options..
- Start a part time business, this has to be the most valuable thing you could do with your time, first because you own the business and earn as much money as you like and second because this part time business could turn out to become a very successful full time business pay you all the money you wanted and freeing up as much time as you need.
- Setup an online business, the best part of an online business is that it is setup and managed right out of your home, you can work on it whenever you have the time and if you run out of time the business keeps running and generates an income for you… did you know a new millionaire is made every 60 minutes using the internet.
- Learn to trade shares or forex on the internet
- Learn to buy and sell property and then build up a sizable property portfolio spitting out large junks of cash when you buy and then sell and also a constant flow of income from those properties you select to rent out.
These are just some ideas on Part time evening jobs or should I say businesses that you could start instead of giving up your valuable time to just work anotherĀ weekend job.
