Right now I am working a full-time transcriptionist job away from home, while my husband stays at home to watch our 2 children. However, I'm still not liking the income that we have coming into the household every month. I've been thinking about getting another job, either part-time or full-time (full-time would be a lot more difficult). Does anyone out there have 2 jobs themselves or know of anyone that does? If so, is it working out well, or is it just more stressful?

I'm working full time as project manager away from home and i've 4 kids to feed. No doubt the income that i have is quite comfortable, i still venture into part-time home biz. For a start, it can be quite stressful if we do not know how to manage our time. However, we still need to set our priorities in life. For me, i'm doing for my kids.

I'm like you. I work full time away from home and my husband is a student and stays home with the kids. I've considered getting a second job, but now that it's about time for school to start again, my husband is going to get a part time job. We both do things at home from our computers. Getting a second job would hinder my goal of working from home in the next year or so.

The internet provides a vast number of ways to earn a second income and I'm not talking about get-paid-to programs where you earn a penny to read an email.
What do you like to do, or what is it that you find yourself doing the most? A friend of mine likes to shop and entertain the family so I referred her to the biz in my profile. Since she was renting movies, buying clothes, eating out, buying groceries, ink for her printer, paper for her fax, etc I told her "why not save on the items you're already buying and work the biz?"
When you do something you enjoy, it becomes more fun because it won't seem like a job.

Have you thought about network marketing? It doesn't take as much of your time as another hourly job.
