How about something that's not too mentally demanding.

Deliver pizzas. Bar work or something.

Bar work is good, you save money because you're not in the pub drinking AND you get paid for it.

Do you live near a big city? There's usually loads of work as hired muscle for events and big shows, usually with as much or as little work as you want it.

Would be helping loading and unloading trucks, carrying the stuff no-one else wants to, helping lay cables etc. Can fire you some company names if something of interest.

The lads that work with my cousin during marquee season, all have trades that they fall back to during the winter months. One is a boat fitter, one is a roofer, and one is an electrician. All have experience in other trades too, such as mechanics, paint spraying, welding, cooking, tyre fitting, woodwork, drivers of large tonnage vehicles, towing experience...so can turn their hand to pretty much anything. Makes them invaluable to my cousin during marquee season.

I work shifts, 4 on, 4 off. So I have quite a lot of free time, especially if my shifts fall on a Friday-Monday run so I end up with two weeks of four weekdays on my own.

So, I could use my time to make money, right?
But I have no ideas.

Day shifts?
I used to do a similar pattern but alternating days and nights, so the "free time" was spent sleeping or adjusting the internal clock.

I believe fire brigade jobs used to let you sleep on the job if there was no call out, giving you a chance to work a second job and still handing you a decent pension at early retirement.

Just remembered one that might be of use:

Schools and kids doing exams. They employ 'monitors' who sit around the exam hall who keep an eye out for cheating or might perhaps bring a pen to a kid. They might escort pupils to the loo.
I've forgotten what their exact job role is called but try contacting a school. From my own knowledge the people doing this job tend to be semi or retired. The same people do other jobs such as sitting in their cars at roadsides recording types of vehicles and numbers - that's another job to look out for.

Invigilators.

You have to be approved by education authority. My wife is a school exams officer and employs them for her school exams. Very very strict rules on conduct as if you do something wrong you can fuck up a whole exam. Not a good idea if it's the pupils GCSE's.

Go self employed, get away from the shift pattern and do what you want to do. Why work all the extra hours in your time off when you could choose the hours and make decent money, assuming you are good at something. Work to live, not the other way round.

I'll remember that one. "NO! They're african lupins officer!!! " On a side note, given your amazing ability to recognise
flora, fauna and fungi, I wouldn't go mushroom picking if I were you. Even if there's a huge crop of Fly Agaric expected
this year Wink

Fly agaric are perfectly edible. It's how you prep them that's important. Get it wrong and you'll 'see' music..
See this is what gets me with drug users - collect certain plants and they've a years supply of goodness. Instead they choose to take unknown substances bought from people they would never trust..

What would you do?


Education - I would like to know another language, because as a lawyer, that is what gets you a well paid job these days, especially when you speak a language that none around do. There was this public service job at the ombudsman's office, where they wanted a lawyer who speaks Russian. I would get there 30% more money for pretty much 30% less work (2 months of home office, only 4 days a week and so on). Also, apparently, English is not a foreign language anymore, it is expected that everyone speaks English. There are other institutions and private companies, that look for a lawyer, that knows specific foreign languages.

Learn a new skill just for the sake of having fun - cooking, flying planes, whatever.

Start using ebay more - Don't bin stuff, sell it.

Work on your on stuff - When I buy a motorcycle/car, I always put it back to stock and sell all the aftermarket crap. The original, or at least period accurate, parts always cost a fraction of what the fancy crap someone thought was cool does. Then I restore the vehicle a bit, just cleaning, adjusting, repairing, once I have my eye on another bike/car, I sell the current one with a nice proffit and move on. I also used to buy car wheels and tyres, when the deal was good, cleaned them, fixed the paint job if necessary and sold them.
- I also enjoy learning new things, so I not only work/ed on my own machines but also frined's and family's, learning new things as I went. The joy of fixing something yourself is priceless + it does save you tons of money.

IT - Only if you'd then switch jobs. I'm not sure about the UK, but here, CZE, there is a shortage of people who would know/want to work in Linux (mostly server maintenance). A friend of mine also works with automatisation software, that lad works 3 days a month, and has double the wages I have. To be fair though, I only got a steady lawyer job last year, so will see, but I doubt I'll ever get a lawyer job, that would require me to be at the office for only 3 days a month.

Last thought; don't waste your life working, if you don't need the money.

It's an international language. It's funny how in the current shame climate people ignore it's only because we (along with the French, Spanish etc.) were such colonial bastards that we have international communication, trade and so on. Otherwise we'd probably all be speaking regional dialects and spearing any outsiders.

I kind of had the same problem.
I've often wondered about investing in horticulture.
Would one's profits increase exponentially or just steady regular income?

I understand that shares in British Sugar is the place to put one's money in the current "legal grows" industry. They're one of the few with the correct growing set-up already in place to toe the line on "the rules of legal grows".

Obviously been playing the long game for several years ahead of everyone else, then. Rolling Eyes

Everything else, you could expect to get your collar felt at some point.

Rent-boy. There's loads of money in prostituting your arsehole.
