live on LI/work in the city - second jobs?

Hi all,

I'm seriously considering getting a second job right now, but the trouble is - I don't get out of my job till 5:45 and I don't have a car! I want to do something to try and supplement our income since things are a bit tight right now - but I'm not sure how I can do it. Is anyone else in my situation? I work from 9 - 5:45 during the summer and by the time I get back to LI, it's after 7:30. I was even thinking of getting something part-time here in the city, but I'd only be able to work a couple hours a day after work and I wouldn't even know where to start looking for something offering that kind of schedule. I'm just so frustrated bc I feel like I'm never going to pay off my cc debt AND wedding expenses on top of that with just my current salary..... :( Any suggestions or helpful ideas would be greatly welcomed!! Thanks so much for listening!

- Helena

why don't you see if you can work Saturday mornings or something? I used to work at a doctor's office on Monday and Thursday nights, then Saturday mornings.

Or get a retail job on Saturdays or something,.

I second the waitressing, my cousin did that one day a week. He made pretty good money.

i bartended for years to help pay my bills and eventually help pay for the wedding. I used to make more money than teaching! You can do a Fri night or Sat... I'm out of the business now b/c it wore me down but I miss the money...

If you had good scores on your SAT, GRE, etc you can tutor or teach for Kaplan in the evenings...

Thank you all for the awesome feedback - it's definitely food for thought!! I'm going to check out a few places near my office for waitressing, maybe I can swing a few hours after work or something like that. Thanks again for all of your help!
