Poll of the Day > Anybody work 2 jobs (FT and PT)? How's the workload

(+) Yeah! (+)

Thinking about picking up a second job to pay off loans faster, so I'd be working a full 7 days (Monday - Friday 9-5 and Sat/Sun Whenever)

Just worried about burnout tbh.

Everybody's different; it really depends on how you feel about work. I know people who do anything and everything to get out of work and then complain about the hours that they do work. However, I myself enjoy going to work and almost prefer it over vacations (there's something to be said about comfort).

I currently work M-F 8am-4pm (though I usually end up in the office over 45 hours a week) in an IT management position and I'm also a part-time student with 6 hours of class a week plus all the homework involved with that. In addition, I practice and perform in a band and I also tutor (which adds another 10 hours of work or so per week). It's sometimes difficult making plans, but my evenings tend to still be free so that I can still maintain some sort of social life. I enjoy it and, if you like working, then you very well could too.

I would only do it if both jobs paid really well, like 12/hr

Yea I also see myself having evenings free. I'll see if there's anything that won't be too demanding

I did in college. Worked full-time weekdays 8-4:30, had classes tuesday-thursday from 6-11, and worked at Gamestop whenever they scheduled me outside of those hours.

How the hell did you have evenings free with all of that??

My classes this last semester were only Monday and Wednesday evenings, 7 to 9:45. My band practices Saturday mornings and any performances we have are Friday or Saturday evenings (we perform maybe once a month...it's not a real job so much as it is a hobby). Tutoring fell directly after work on the days I didn't have class (T/Th, though I'd occasionally help out on Fridays and/or Saturdays too). That would only be from 4:30 to 6:30, give or take half an hour. So, T/Th I'd be free after 6 PM, and Fridays and Saturdays I'd be free if I didn't have a show. Sundays were pretty much open, though I tended to use those days to do all my homework and then relax.
