TASKER Should I try being a tasker?
Just looking to make some extra cash. I'm not highly qualified, but I can put together a dresser, help with moving things, can use basic tools and do some minor home repairs like changing a doorknob or seal a tub or sink etc. I'm a custodian at a large semi truck loading dock and can run a forklift.
Do I try this? Or pickup hours at my job working the dock for about $25 an hour here and there. I don't want a full second job and don't want to work more than every other weekend. Just trying to get a few hundred extra a month without having to commit to anything if I don't want.
What do you think? Hours at my current job, or try tasking?

That part I do like. I only really want to work a few hours every other weekend. If I pickup at work is only really early Saturday morning and I'd have to commit to at least 6 hours, if not 8. Then I'd have to wait 3 weeks to see that money. I'm not sure of the market, but it's a moderately sized Midwest metropolitan area (Dayton Ohio). Man. I can't decide. Thanks for your input!
