As a lady in knowledgeable profession, do you even have a aspect hustle? The subject has been on my radar in a couple of methods these days: (1) in a style subreddit, I noticed a submit from a lady looking for recommendation on what to put on at a once-a-week file retailer job, (2) I remembered a few of our previous Private Cash Snapshots have talked about second jobs (btw, we might like to see extra submissions, nudge nudge!), and on the private aspect, (3) this week I accepted a (very) part-time job to complement my freelance work.
Readers, do you’ve a aspect hustle reminiscent of podcasting, promoting crafts, or doing portrait pictures, for instance? Ooh, or skilled organizing, which has all the time sounded enjoyable to me? Is there one thing you take pleasure in, or are simply good at, that you just’d like to show right into a second job?
With the abysmal 2025 job market and the latest pause on sure pupil mortgage forgiveness, it is a prime time for many individuals to need or want to spice up their revenue. In fact, others merely tackle an additional paid exercise for enjoyable or social causes, which is an envious place to be.
In my case, I will be doing work that is completely unrelated to my freelance work — I simply received employed by a petsitting/dog-walking enterprise. I have already got a couple of common catsitting shoppers by myself, however with this W2 place, my enjoyable aspect job will likely be extra steady and “formal.” The train and time open air will likely be a bonus, although it is a “Neither snow nor rain nor warmth…” sort of factor.
Listed here are a couple of aspect jobs readers have talked about in Cash Snapshot posts:
- sustaining rental properties
- performing accounting work for freelance shoppers
- promoting on Etsy, doing microtasks, nannying (from a university pupil)
- working an unnamed aspect job that brings in $2,500/12 months along with a $100,000 wage
Not surprisingly for Corporette readers, who clearly skew skilled, most featured readers had zero curiosity — or want — for a aspect hustle, and some have talked about their distaste for the time period, which, granted, can have a bro-y vibe.
Readers, do inform! Do you’ve a aspect hustle? How’s it going? Do you do it for enjoyable, for further funds, or each? And is the work associated to your profession or one thing utterly totally different, reminiscent of working half time in a bookstore?
