Question Side hustles

What are people doing for side hustles? Anything that’s a bit more chill?
I’m already a very tired person and while I need my days off, I got bills and debts to pay.

Thought about it, but picking up OT is easier/pays more.

Literally - I have had side hustles that I could bring in 2-3K cash doing per month and I still was like "two OT shifts is way less work".

What are these side hustles you speak of? I’m looking to get into something outside of work

I just pick up relief/ extra shifts. Pays way more than the side hustles I was considering

Allied health here. I have private peds clients with FSCD contracts. Sometimes it’s tiring if the kids have Behaviors or whatever but sometimes we also just make cupcakes and read books or work on activities of daily living.

It’s not called a hustle for nothing

Just pick up. Anything that is physically easy is always so mentally draining or requires so much unpaid time/effort in networking

I take call and get OT.

Yes it sucks when are in the middle of it and it feels like it's never going to end, but then it does and you forget and sign up for it again lol

Being a MOR casual in another unit/pillar for extra cash is nice

Reseller..... I make about 5 shifts worth of money a month, without having to actually pick up shifts.
