What about MLM? Have you eliminated it as a non starter or is it a possibility, too? (You have mentioned Mary Kay / Avon, though) Cheers Great thought provoking post.

I know, for example, if you're licensed to sell insurance, workers must receive premission from owners prior to taking a second job. One of the licensing req's state if secondary employement is obtained, you must prove it will not interfere with being an agent or broker. Another thing to think about is taxes (at least in Canada, where I'm from). Employers are not required to deduct money from paychecks for federal taxes for PT employees and this can cause big problems come tax season!

I know many people who have to consider taking a second job to make ends meet, and that's ok. If you are working towards a goal, it could help you attain it faster. Just never assume something is beneath you. I've always enjoyed working at a fast food restaurant or even a sit down restaurant. I enjoyed the interaction with people, getting them what they needed, in a timely fashion.. it would make their day! And you could see it on their face. They were happy. :) This is a great post.

I've been working two jobs for the past year and although there are times where I wish I had more time, I really enjoy the second job - a phone operator at the cab company. Currently it's helping me pay for an uninsured root canal. :) After that's done, it's going to help me pay off my credit card debt. Very well thought out article.
