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?"

    Really, they do in most states. Also they get Summers OFF and every other holiday known to man. So while they're working less hours than us in their normal job (and getting more pay on top of that these days), a second job for them is no big deal. To be honest I'm thinking of going into teaching. It's easy work, and I like kids.

  3. Low Salary?? by Banner · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'm sorry, but a starting salary of 33K in Nevada for a job that is 9 months of the year is NOT low! If she's having trouble making ends meet, maybe she should take a closer look at what she's spending all of her money on and do a better job of managing it.
