Default Second Jobs
I am a currently furloughed and I am looking into going back to school in order to secure a better job for now. I would like to get into a field that I could still work part-time once I start flying again. Any suggestions? Maybe some sort of IT work? Thanks!

Don't do it. Once your realize how much you can get paid in another line of work you will never return to flying.

Gigolo. It's easy work, pays alright, plus it makes the overnights go by faster.
