Today I saw a lady that was very proud of the fact that in a day she could literally do two completely different jobs and get paid for both of them. One job she was doing was within a media production field where there seems like there is always a lot of downtime. As well, she did copywriting for various businesses and that type of work allows her to be flexible in regards to where she can do the job.
Essentially, she gets paid to be onsite at one place and working when it is time to work and during the downtime she is doing the copywriting work and earning even more money. And to clarify normally in these downtimes she would literally just sit around and doing nothing. It’s not like a position like say a security guard where even though there is no one there you have to always be monitoring something.
That is a good idea I’d say. You usually hear people say how there are various types of work they do where there is usually a big chunk of time where they are doing nothing. Most people just use it as a time to socialize or emphasize how they just get paid to sit around. Instead, you can be proactive like this and try to find things that you can do with that downtime as well which won’t conflict with your main line of work.
Even if it is only reading a book about the various opportunities that are out there or how to save more money at least you are doing something with the available time you have to steer you to a financially commendable position I’d say.
