conversation: User (hggkhjgkhjg): "I make $25 an hour as a business/data analyst (no opportunity for overtime) and I'm thinking about taking a second job to pay down debts quicker (already throwing every spare cent at them), but I can't wrap my head around making ~ a third of my regular income in a second job, it seems like a strange use of my time. \n\nWhat are people doing as second jobs? I've looked at flipping but after several fruitless trips to goodwill I don't think I'm cut out for it."
  Self: "I'm an accountant because the money is good (hate it). I work two nights a week as an aircraft mechanic. In a former life I was a military air wing guy. I just do simple stuff like change oil, fix little stuff. I love airplanes so its not like work except for the physical part. So here's the point, if you can, do something much different from your day job. Part of the financial benefit is, if you are working, your are not spending money. Try to find an atmosphere you don't mind being in. I don't make that much money turning wrenches, but I miss my airport bums after a couple of months of no side jobs."
