Gang, I'd like to hear your thoughts on something. As most of you know, I work from home, selling insurance. Because of the nature of what I do, I have found that 6 hours on the phone a day is pretty much my limit. Between what I make and what my wife makes, we are keeping our bills paid. However, I am going nuts being in this house all the time, and I want to find a second job away from the house. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but it definitely has to be strictly part time work, maybe 20 hours a week max. I've been tossing around some ideas, and thought I would share them with you to see what you think. Keep in mind that I live in a small town with very few jobs, and I am not going to drive any distance to go work somewhere part time. Anyway, these are my choices:
- Gas Station
- Fast Food
- Grocery Store
- Dollar Store
- Sell life insurance as an independant agent.
I am leaning towards checking out the gas stations, because I've done that kind of work before. I am not sure if one of the restaurants around here would hire me because of my beard. I did work in the meat department of a grocery store a long time ago. The dollar store would be a completely new experience for me.
With the exception of the life insurance thing, none of these jobs would pay more than $7 per hour, but that's ok. I just want to get out of the house. Selling life insurance as an independant would make me more money, but I would have some expenses involved in getting it off the ground. What do you guys think?
