I imagine it would burn people out. But if you can mentally bite the bullet and resist "upscaling" your life, and investing all of the additional income... would make a killing.

Also bull**** tax authorities if you work 2-3 fulltime jewbs?
- Yes I do mind. Misc lurkers hate success lol.

- Just monitor you gross income to stay just under that 35% tax bracket if possible. Max out 401k, dump some money in investment property with it. get sexy.

8 years ago when i first got into the "big cog" work force, and was physically going into an office, I was on dat der OfficeSpace time realizing i only did 2 hours of actual real work. The other 6 just sitting in the cubicle rotting trying not to get caught miscing. They're so big though that all you have to do is show up on meeting calls, get marked as "present", send your 3 or 4 emails per day to be "visible" and you collect a check. It's the small startups that move fast pace and you're constantly getting "pinged" that are the real sweatshops.

You can literally stack 2 or even 3 jobs on top of eachother remotely, 2x'ing and 3x'ing your salary and STILL only working 6 to 8 hours a day. 1 year of working like that where you invest 100% of the income of the side-job and you can be up large to position yourself for financial freedom.
Loool, I tried suggesting this idea last week, glad to hear that others have thought about this, too.

So many different things one can do in their career, but if there's no major legal restrictions in your industry, this seems like $PRFT

I'm pretty content with mine.

Can't say I'm very "motivated" though, shyt is tedious.

I wouldn't mind being a wagecuck if I didn't have to work 5 days a week.

That said I'm an Assistant Project Manager so I get to see projects being built and say I helped build that.

-Graduated HS went straight to college

-Went 2 straight years without taking a break while working part time

-Got tired of being broke AF and and literally having pennies left after paying rent , bills , & buying food

-Took a break from school and joined L.U. 68 as a Plumbing apprentice working full time & what would be the start of a 5 year program to get my Journeyman's plumbing license

-During those 5 years I started taking college courses at night and online to finish up my Engineering degree

-Got my Journeyman's license through the great state of Texas within months of earning my degree

-I was a foreman for a large mechanical contractor making close to six figures already but decided I wanted to put my degree to work

-Went to work for a large Engineering firm and quickly realized not only was I making less money but I fkn hated every gotdamn minute of every gotdamn day but I stuck it out thinking the big picture would soon reveal itself making my endeavor bearable.. while the money was eventually matched sooner rather than later my hatred for the work just increased...

-Finally had to just throw in the fkn towel and put my 2 weeks in while already securing a job with another Mechanical contractor running work

-Ran work for this company for about a year , very successfully might I add.. when an opportunity arose that I didn't see coming

-Same company was aware of my engineering degree and wanted to create a department doing Design bids which are becoming more available and profitable in the construction industry on a large scale

....

To date I have not only created this department but have tripled its capacity and profitability and have received numerous offers from other companies both local and nationally to get similar departments setup and started within.

And I did all of this on my own dime without a single student loan to be excused form the supreme leader biden's relief effort because im not a lazy piece of entitled $hit

This is damn good post, I didn't think about 3x dipping. 3 $70k work from home jobs absolutely making a killing LMAOOOOO. But how would you prevent them from knowing you already work? Would you not take benefits from the other 2 jobs?

Such a fukking hard life.

Absolute slavery.
Yup I'll complain, don't care if you call me a pansy. I want more time for myself to do things I like.

White collar / big Corp life ain’t that bad for me. Pretty solid pay, good benefits, just gotta play the game and don’t take it too seriously. Have to be able to prioritize tasks and manage the workload.
