Hi all,
I am thinking about quitting my typical office engineering job and chasing some entrepreneurial goals + travel with my partner who has a FIFO arrangement.
As I am abit nervous at the thought of leaving a good job (I would receive a lot of flack from my extended family), potentially having no income for a while and uncertainty of my success as an entrepreneur - I thinking it would be ideal if there was some sort of job that I could have on the side that wouldn't interfere with my goals:
Ideal job would be as follows:
- ~2 hrs per day + travel
- ~30$/hr (I am not sure what minimum wage is for an adult in mid 20's)
- Involves people (building relationships working with other people, maybe helping challenged people/ youth)
- Wouldn't have any brain burden out of hours (a problem of my current job)
Ideally I'd like to spend a couple of hours each day doing it and then even if I failed as an entrepreneur I wouldn't feel like I have completely wasted my time.
I have heard of a few friends of friends who assist a parent with their autistic children (like a babysitter) for a couple of hours to give the parents a break. I don't know if that is common thing or not, or whether males are even desired for that sort of care.
I'd also be interested in any sort of regular jobs (i.e. baker) that might fit the criteria.
Thanks for your ideas
