Two Jobs and Retire Early?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-work-now-for-less-work-later dept.

70_hours_week wonders: "A Survey of teachers in a Nevada school district indicate that 40% have a second job. Do you have a second job? Assume you are 30 and since you like to save your money you could semi-retire by age 50. Now, what if you could nearly double your salary working a second job and that meant you could semi-retire at age 40. Would you do it?"

    If my main job was only from September to May I'd get a second job too. It's not called being underpaid, it's called not being lazy.

    If a school district anywhere pays a teacher enough to live comfortably for an entire year, yet gives them a quarter of the year off work, the tax payers should raise hell.
