subject: Pros And Cons Of Taking Up Two Jobs At The Same Time [print this page] It is perfect if you have a job that satisfies all your demands, contributes to your inner harmony, makes you happy and, at the same, provides your living. Lucky are those who have such jobs, but the harsh truth is that it rarely happens that a job is equally satisfying in all aspects. This is why it s a common practice when a person takes up two or even more part-time jobs to satisfy his/her needs. This article will be devoted to the strong and weak points of the combination of two works.
The strong points
Financial stability. This is, probably, the first and foremost reason that makes people take two jobs at the same time. If one salary is too little to meet all your demands, the second one can become a significant contribution to your personal or family budget.
The combination of a routine job and a job for pleasure. It may well be that your second job is the job of your dream that will satisfy your spiritual demands while the primary job will provide your living. However, only primary job can be stressful and boring without a job for pleasure.
The improvement of skills. If the jobs you have taken are interrelated, it is very good. You can develop and improve your professional skills by means of their constant application. Also, it may be beneficial, if your woks have no direct connection but the skills needed for each of them may be applied to intensify another working process.
The weak points
Lack of time. Keep in mind that these two works will take twice as much time of yours as one job takes. This means that you family, relatives, and friends may suffer from lack of your attention.
Tiredness and health problems. If you work, it is also necessary to relax, but if you do not have time to relax, it can result in serious physical and mental problems with your health.
