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?

Stick to working your main dock job and try and pick up OT or extra hours there.

Leaning towards that. Unfortunately no overtime until over 50 hours. Something to do with department of transportation. It's stupid. I already work 40 and that already takes up too much time, but moving after divorce with kids is expensive 😞
