part-time work ideas

Recommended Posts

so grad school and a kid have turned out to be very expensive enterprises when combined together, especially in conjunction with financial goals that add up to more than just breaking even every month. i've got a really ambitious budget that involves putting away a substantial amount per month. and for various reasons that's simply not getting done. some of it's frivolous spending, some of it's unavoidable bills (our new insurance is absolute garbage and two quick doctors visits landed us $300 in out-of-pocket medical expenses just like that.)

 

i've been debating picking up some part-time work on the side to try to plug up some of the holes and cover expenses that keep popping up. anybody have thoughts on flexible options? i've tossed around everything from contracting with uber to seeing if i can land a gig bartending in charlotte a night or two a week when i'm down there, or getting on a lunch shift somewhere.

 

i've been slowly re-watching breaking bad too, so i'm also open to doing shady stuff.

I have taken uber many times and you'd be surprised by the people who are driving.

I was talking to the guy driving us home from the airport and he does it a couple nights a week because he son is on atraveling baseball team and needs the extra money.

 

If you want bartending...talk to roaring riot :)

2009 mini cooper clubman. slick ride, if the app lets you see what your options for car type it might work in my favor

 

The app does not but you can also get regular clients.

 

I have the choice between Uberx (reg car) UberXL (suv)and Uber Black (black car). Based on the location of the customer it gets routed to the closest car. They can accept or reject it and then it rolls over to the next closest and so on. (dont reject too many)

No one is going to want to get in the back of a mini. No offense. It may even have to be a sedan to qualify

 

quite possibly, i'll have to do the research and see. it's a clubman, not the regular, so it's got an extra foot and a half of room, which makes a massive difference in legroom and storage capacity.

 

edit: uber requires four-door cars, mine is 2… so that's out

Why is your new insurance "absolute garbage"?

 

to be honest i'm not even sure… my wife recently went to part-time at work because she's in grad school too, and it completely changed the insurance options. we pay for it monthly now instead of having it drafted from her paycheck through work. i haven't checked all the details, i just know the premiums are ungodly.

    • Yeah well I was agaisnt Hurney coming back and then helping hire Rhule but it happened anyways. Tepper has made it so bad and it's still ongoing currently.   
    • Yeah, that "Me against the world" mentality can work....when you are right and know what you are doing. But if you don't know what you are doing and can't accept that you need to learn, that is an impossible hill to climb.  
    • I can’t argue too hard with established track records. Just hope because it has happened before.   I think it takes massive and embarrassing failure. It isn’t hard to conceptualize the general truism that success in one field does not guarantee success in another. I have had to experience that in my the hard way before, dealing with a self made millionaire friend.  Getting them to understand that is very difficult. I had to part ways to escape it 30 years later, he still hasn’t learned. But he isn’t my problem anymore….  Tepper cannot be excised so easily.
