I feel stuck. I work 2 jobs right now. I work at night and I work part time at Chick-Fil-A. I am also trying to get a degree in Cybersecurity. So, I am very swamped. I do work hard enough though that I have a two nights a week plus Sunday evening to work on personal stuff. right now I use that time to work on web design.
Here is what I am wondering: Does anyone have any side hustle/business ideas that would allow me to escape this situation?
Here are a couple things you need to understand:
  • I'm not quitting either job anytime soon. Chick-fil-A pays for my college and my night job gives me an opportunity to work on school and my own business endeavors. I have people depending on me so I can't just quit all my jobs and focus on my own business.
  • I'm also not dropping school. I understand that college isn't great and that it teaches you to just be a cog in the system. But again, I have people depending on me. College gives me a secure route out of my situation. And I love the field of cybersecurity.
  • I'm not looking for a fastlane business (yet) I'm just looking for something that I can work my butt off at and learn in a few months to get some financial freedom. I would love to start a fastlane type business in the future, but before I do that I just need to get out of my current situation and get some financial freedom.
  • I said above I am working on web design. I realize that this is a viable business idea and I have learned a lot from @Fox. But it is a struggle for me because I am not very design orientated. I am much more analytical and mathematical. I'm willing to keep working at it. But it is not the best fit for me.
  • Finally, one disclaimer: I'm not writing all this so that someone can do all the work for me. I'm just looking for someone to point me in the right direction and lend me some of their hard earned wisdom. I will do the work. I have never shied away from hard work.
Any and all advice is appreciated.
