Second Jobs?
 
Just curious as to what second jobs some of you guys have out there...

Well that depends.... Are you talking about guys still flying 121 or furloughed? Guys that still fly 121 work at Home Depot, Starbucks or any other job that can be flexiable with part time hours and pays okay.
Furloughed guys are working cargo or ANYTHING else to pay the bills... I have a friend who just got hired on with the San Fran Police Department and his starting pay is 82k (he's already said he'll never go back to the airlines). So, there ya have it.

Computer Course Designer... I plan to go back to the airlines unless I start pulling down 6-figures doing something else.

I was nearly furloughed late last summer. Had been thinking about looking for another job before, but that really kicked the search into over-drive. The only thing I could find with flexible enough hours was working on the ramp. I work a ton, but as a reserve FO I really don't have a choice - I don't know how I would make the bills work otherwise.

I'm still looking for something better, but as a word of advice - before you go looking for that sweet consulting job that every other guy is searching for, try something menial and easy first. The instant cash is a real help in the short-run, and even more useful is the practice gained from juggling an airline schedule with another employer's.

Writing. Some consulting. Some classes on CRM and decision making.

Second job?. That implies you already have ONE job. Lucky you!.
Anyhow, no aviation/flight related jobs around here. So for me Bartending it is. Oh, I'll be getting my MBA online starting Sept.

I teach in a RJ AATD and King Air sim as well as classroom stuff at Saint Louis University. When they were losing a bunch of instructors when hiring was good, I offered to help out part-time. Then they said they may be getting an RJ AATD and that using me as a CFI probably wasn't the best for both parties. It's worked out great. Teach Monday/Tuesday, fly Wednesday/Thursday - Saturday. Drink Saturday night, sleep Sunday.

I have been seriously considering taking another part time job, but not really sure where to look. I enjoy my days off way too much, and I hardly every see the lady as is. So, it would have to be a pretty damn good paying and flexible part time job
