Working Two Jobs Get’s Old Really Quick
May 19, 2009 5:58 pm Just Random!So for the next two weeks I’ll be working two jobs. The only reason why is because I’m actually transitioning to one job, but I figured why not make a little extra money?
For those of you that regularly work 2 jobs, I have to say that I have a new found respect for you. Admittedly, if I was in a position where it was absolutely necessary, I could do it. But it does get very old.
So for those of you that do it on a regular basis, my hat is off to you and I hope that you don’t have to do it for that much longer!
How’s that for a random post???

why not quitting one?! i used to have 2 jobs but i could bare that only for 2 weeks or so (till the day i got my salary
i personally prefer having less money and more free time than be rich and have no time at all!! it’s easy then to lose people who are close to you…
[Reply]
One job is enough for me thank you, good luck to you though!

I worked two jobs for six months. The other was 40 hours a week and the other was 30 hours a week. I totally burnt out during that period. Thank god I found a better paying job 40 hours a week paying the same I got from the two jobs.

2 jobs in same time. It is very difficult for me and everyone can not give 100%. Yes it is in 2 jobs we can earn extra money but lot of problems are rise during job. If anyone have lot of energy then do it.
[Reply]
Good luck to you, life can get hectic enough with just one job not to mention two.

I work two jobs and I can say that it is a lot of hard because I’m in the sixth month of pregnancy. My husband can not find a job and I work for both.
[Reply]
I’ve been working two jobs for most of my adult life, not because I necessarily need to but because I can actually earn more per hour doing freelance work and still get the benefit of a 401k and medical coverage from my day job. It definitely does suck to have to think about coming home at the end of a long day and doing more work, though.

if you think one job is enough to make your living and as u are feeling exhusted as well so you can quit one job for sometime and later whenever u feel like your ok then you can get back to work anytime
[Reply]
I’ve been worked for two jobs before since last three years. However, I started to quit the another job last year, as I’m extremely exhausted, either mentally or physically!

One job is enough. thank you

Isn’t it a shame that in this day and age we need to work two jobs?
I worked two jobs once…for a whole two weeks. I coulnd’t deal with the lack of free time.

Not random at all!
I lose so much sleep due to having to play so many different roles. One night I came home at 2am from my second job of the day knowing I’d have to be up writing for several more hours. That said, it is just a NECESSITY for some people to go above and beyond (if that is how you think about it) in order to make ends meet, or in my case, to continue to cultivate important skills and contacts.
[Reply]
This is the life, if you wantto live better you need to work two jobs
[Reply]
Working two jobs can really be extremely exhausting. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s necessary to get by in life.
[Reply]
The only time I actually enjoyed working two jobs was when my second job was as security at a night club. The obvious “perks” made it seem less of a chore and the money was good.
[Reply]
In the new economy, working two or three jobs will be the norm. But if you pick the right side jobs you can develop a few new skills that will help your career and your wallet.
[Reply]
You don’t need that apostrophe in “gets” but you’re working two jobs so I’ll cut you some slack.

Less haste more speed - overwork catches up on you and makes you less productive, more ill and therefore poorer.

One job is enough. But if you are really the typical type, you would strive more to excel and reach what you really want. As far as having a job, even part time and making money is concerned, you can also try google money master, it’s a great money making opportunity for you. It pays really well and is very profitable. Try it yourself and see what good can it do for you.
[Reply]
I work two jobs. Both of them are on a self employed basis.
I find that although it can be tiring, the money’s good. The best part is the second job I can do from home so it’s almost like i’m not working.
[Reply]
Working two jobs is not for everyone. I don’t think I could manage such a workload, for instance.
[Reply]
One job is enough for me thank you, be carefull. and wish u happy future.

Been doing that myself for a long time now. I could have told you a while back that it gets old really quick! haha

I’ve been working 2-3 jobs my whole life and I love it, I guess it’s the ADD in me but it allows me to not get completely caught up in one job or completely bored with a job. I’ll keep doing it until I make a million dollars.
[Reply]
I agree, two jobs is a killer. If they are what you are really passionate about however it may not be such a bad thing. Although you may feel a whole lot less passionate about them.
[Reply]
My husband worked 60-70 hours a week between two jobs for about six months. I was surprised it didn’t kill him. He was completely worn out, but when you need the money you do what you have to I guess.
[Reply]
I give kudos to all who work more than one job!
[Reply]
I give kudos to those of you that work two jobs also! I am a full time mother and work a full time job and sometimes forget what it’s like to not be working!! Although I wouldn’t ever change my main job as a full time mother for the world:)~~~

I too have a great respect for people who work two jobs. Unfortunately, today’s economy requires many people to work two jobs and spend less time with their families. Thumbs up to all who work more than one job!

How about for internet marketer who work more than 10 hours a day. Is it similar condition?

Agreed, it gets old. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…
[Reply]
I totally respect those who works 2 jobs. I can only imagine it to be very draining. If you really need the extra money, why not get a job, and invest in something liquid like silver or gold? That way, you’re working in your job and your investments are working for you.
[Reply]
I feel for you. I just started on my third job. All part time and none paying too well. Just get through the next few months, this too shall pass.
[Reply]
Great post,it is useful to me now,thanks

When I was going to college, I had three part-time jobs. I don’t know how I did it. I was very, very busy but had to do it in order to pay for school.

I am a small business person, so it is like having 2 jobs. Start at 7am, finish at midnight.

Yeah you are right working in 2 shifts is not an easy task its a lot lot of physical strain…

Believe it or not, I was pregnant working full time with an ebay selling business full time and worked a few night shifts doing promo work. I know what its like to have 2+ jobs. No fun at all!!

I was a manager at a factory once and we were working on a shoe string. I would often put in 14-16 hours a day. It often felt like I was working two jobs.
I gave it all up and retired. Life is now good.
[Reply]
I must appreciate, those of you who manages two jobs in a day.For me my single job takes the hell out of me towards the end of the day. Hat off to you all out there.
[Reply]
I have absolutely no desire to work two jobs… even for a couple weeks. I hope things went well for you and at least you can say that you have a job!
[Reply]
For me one job at 10 hours a day is already enough, I couldn’t imagine another one.

I’m getting ready to start a second job and found these comments very helpful. Wish me luck!!

Hard times to have 2 jobs at once, but after a while you get used to it. Well you are not wasting your life energy, but it surely wont increase your health status.

having a two work is really tiring and it really need great determination. I can say this because I also have two jobs and at the same time I’m going to school. I need to do this because I have a dreams for me and my family in the future.

[Reply]
Never worked two jobs and I hope I never have to. One job is more than enough for me thank you very much. I work very long hours so don’t know how I could fit another job anyway lol
[Reply]
If I am being asked whether it is feasible to work two jobs ,the answer is yes, but it does take careful planning and it can be emotionally exhausting.
First you need to make sure the extra hours are worth it. You need to make sure you are covered tax wise as well. It can be draining to work two jobs that make you think, but physically exhausting to work one that requires heavy labor. If you are working two jobs you need to make sure you continue to get enough sleep, exercise and eat well or you will not last long. Finally you should have an end in sight. Working two jobs should not be a permanent solution. If you know how long you need to do it, it is much easier to stick to your plan.

Moonlighting is so like the 30s, but I guess we are reliving the great depression right now.

It is really draining to work two jobs at a time and physically exhausting too.

Working two jobs at a time is feasible to them who really wants it.Money is a great motivation.
[Reply]
I’m working “two” jobs. 3:30 to 8:30 a night at Starbucks which I love, and then I do some work out of the house. I find having one helps balance the other. I get out and actually socialize at my night job, instead of being stuck in front of a computer all day long in the house.
[Reply]
Thank you for share this kind of information.
[Reply]
Human body require proper diet and rest if we will not keep the balance between them,we will get older quickly,Doing two jobs is not bad thing if we take proper rest and diet.
[Reply]
My advice would be if you hate working two jobs, get really really good at one of them and ask for a raise.
[Reply]
That is the serious issue i will look in to this side as well!
[Reply]
It’s sad when you have to work more than one job just to eat. And our economy is so great, right?

Well said. To cope up the current economy, it will suit very good.

I’ve worked two jobs and even three jobs (two jobs Monday through Friday and a third long shift job on Saturday and Sunday). After about three months of it I was feeling like a zombie. So I gave up the weekend job.
It’s rough but sometimes we just have to do what we have to do to keep afloat while looking for something better.
Good luck to you!
[Reply]
I have a job and my one business two. So I think that counts for two jobs either. I really feel how I get older and more uncomfortable every day, but it´s only till my business is running that well so I can quit my job.
[Reply]
I am actually working for 2 companys and I know how frustrating this can be.
[Reply]
I work full time, go to school full time and run a business part time so I can understand how having two jobs gets old quickly!

I agree, two jobs is a killer. If they are what you are really passionate about however it may not be such a bad thing. Although you may feel a whole lot less passionate about them.

Yes, work two jobs at once can be very negative impact on health.
[Reply]
Ouch, working two jobs must be a strain! But hey, at least it toughens a person up.
[Reply]
I know what you mean… I guess the closest I’ve ever come to working 2 jobs is when I’m having to do freelance writing tasks along with maintaining websites & blogs while keeping an offline job. But, really, the way the unemployment rate is, a person should just be thankful to have one job!
[Reply]
In today’s economy I read more and more about people having to work two jobs and even three jods to pay all the bills. One must learn to balance the work schedule with leisure time to maintain one’s health.
[Reply]
Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are having to do things that they wouldn’t normally consider doing in this economy just to get by as best they can. Let’s hope that 2011 is a better year for the economic outlook!
[Reply]
having two jobs is exhausting but in my case it’s the necessity that I’m considering..still the satisfaction that you can get for having two jobs is worth every cent.
[Reply]
Juggling between two jobs is pretty tough, but you are right - it is an additional income, and experience as well. Take care of your health!

Try having 2 jobs, a husband and a baby. That’s like having 4 jobs, and there is no close time, no holidays, no sick leave. I take my hat off to all us hard working people that have to work for money.
[Reply]
I work one job but might as well be two because as soon as ive left the office and got home I am back on the computer working through the nite. No time for sleep anymore.
[Reply]
well one thing is for sure, “you can’t serve two masters at a time”
[Reply]
For a person two jobs quite too difficult,it impact bad on your health but I like work more 2 or 4 hrs for the same one job for extra money.

Yes, you are definitely right! I agree with your blog post! Before,I got 2 jobs and I should say it’s really hard for me to manage it! Feels like I never had chance to go and hang out with friends or family because I focus with work and need to finish a lot of things before the deadline! And that really sucks! A lot of people told me that I looked old in my age! So I decided to quit to my other job and I guess I made the right choice! Thanks for sharing!!!

I think that there are more people out there having to manage two jobs at the moment because of lay offs. Hopefully, our economy will start to swing back again, so that it is only a temporary thing. I would say consider re-training for a new field, but I know that is hard while working two jobs.

To me it seems like the 2 job deal is an American thing. I almost never come across that here in Europe.

It’s hard to work even you only have one job what’s more with two or more. Yes it could pay the debts and all but it’s like you suffer yourself and tiring up just to earn. We have lives too and must enjoy living.

[Reply]
I understand the issues with money, but it would definitely be a lot healthier of a lifestyle if a person could find 1 job as opposed to two jobs, to get by on. That way, you’d have more time to rest, relax, recreate, enjoy hobbies, and so on. Sometimes people just get stuck in a rut, and may have to make some changes to get out of it. What’s the old adage… “caught in between a rock and a hard place?” Ha! Anyway, put your personal health first… Cheers!

I am currently up to many things. Having different jobs is very tiring but if you love your work, no matter how tiring it is, you will still love and perform good yet you earn extra income. It is just love for work and dedication.

There is a time when you have to work hard and establish your self but one thing you have to make sure that you are taking a bit more food something like fruits that bring back some of the energy you put during work.
On the other hand, it all depends on your physique that does it bear over load work then you can do.
