I've been fully employed plus OT through this whole thing. My side hustle is editing the English of Korean grad students writing doctoral dissertations at American universities. I mostly do it on Thursday overnights after finishing my work week early Thursday morning. They are almost all at home which is about 12 hours different from here. They're staying in Korea because it's safer there, and they're finished with their classwork phase, so they just e-mail or teleconference their advisors and me. I do this on my couch drinking beer with the TV on, except when teleconferencing.
Are you editing highly technical papers like Chemistry and Engineering? Do you need any technical knowledge or are you just editing their English?
I was looking into the highly unethical business of writing papers for international undergrad students with poor English, or just rich and lazy students. Pretty sure I can get them an A in any Arts discipline as long as I don't have to read a whole textbook for it. I miss writing papers but don't want to go back to school.
My regular job is 12 hour shifts but I work maybe 3 hours of that when it's not busy I can do anything, answering surveys, blogging for Amazon affiliate clicks, making Youtube videos etc. I am interesting in anything I can do during slow time than I can stop doing when the phone rings and start again when it slows down. Also I'm working on an E Book. I forgot about that one. Years ago someone here said they just cut and pasted some recipes and made a cookbook and sold it on Amazon, I thought that was brilliant. I'm interested in hearing about people's side hustles.
When not in the office I teach English on Skype, and charge electric Lime scooters. I used to deal drugs but the weed market is mostly legal now and I don't want to sell crack or meth, and no real money in psychedelics.
I do think it is good to have side hustles if you lose your job you have something to fall back on. I haven't missed a day of work since the pandemic started, all my friends on government handouts since March are kind of annoying me now. I asked in the scooter charging fb group why there wasn't a rush of new people this year and people said their friends didn't want to do it because they would lose the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB). Its pretty bad people choose handouts over working. Like if I lose my job I will go work at Uber or deliver food. People think they are too good for shit jobs
I'm only editing their English on sociology dissertations. I understand the statistics, but that's not my job here.
I thought about writing term papers too, but it's a lot of work. I think a lot of professors use programs now to detect plagiarism, so you might only be able to sell each paper once. Ethical issues aside, it wouldn't be worth the money.

Side hustle is just a euphemism for second job. In prior generations you could make a living with one job on a 40 hour work week. Fuck even 1 job per household. Weak labour laws, a gutting of collective agreements allows sky high stock market prices while average joes and jills need to work 2 or 3 jobs just to keep a roof over their head.

I believe its also a case of people wanting too much too soon, and spending money they dont have
All this added upon by social media making people envious
We come from somewhat privileged families but we live in humble circumstances, cheap-ass car, cheap-ass phones, no fancy diners, small apartment
I see a lot of young people expecting to buy villa's to live in the same year they finish their degrees. Get themselves indebted to the bank for the next 30 years with a heavy mortgage hanging over their head. Voluntary slavery if you ask me

That's true. I think it is because everyone has to have a new cell phone, laptop, fancy car with fancy electronics, cell and internet service, food delivery, big 4K tv's with netflix amazon and cable tv. I think if people lived like they did in the 70's then they could get by on 40 hours.
When I was working at Kmart for about $6.50 an hour I was able to live by myself and pay my bills. It wasn't great and I didn't have the latest and greatest like I do now, but I was still able to survive and still have a little money for weed.

Some places are also just unreasonably expensive to live. San Diego and San Francisco are 3 job kinds of towns. My rent alone avaraged 75% of my income from my full time job earning $15 and hour. College isn't for everyone and sometimes you need to get creative. But yeah over consumption is a massive issue as well more so now than ever before.

Hater? I don't think you understand how that word works. Hater is when their reasoning is stupid. When someone disagrees with you for really legitimate reasons you're just a lowlife who refuses to take care of his kid.

I'm surprised there are Korean Sociology grad students at American universities. Good gig though man.
I did 5 years in a PhD program in sociology at the University of Illinois. There was some kind of connection with our department always having Korean students. We had 3 in my cohort, and several more senior ones were my Ta's through the statistics sequence. One of the guys father was the Minister of Finance of South Korea, so I'm guessing he's a top 1%'er. I quit the program when my dissertation advisor quit, after a big political battle. She ended up at Harvard and elected President of the American Sociological Association. Academia is a primitive rather medieval bureaucracy, and your job placement depend on you advisor. So my prospects went from probably getting a job one notch down from U of I, to adjunct professor, no tenure track and no benefits.
So I quit and managed a restaurant in town. The rich Korean dude approached me to edit his work. After that I lost touch with him for decades. He found me a couple years ago on Facebook. He was a professor for 10-15 years, then quit to make some real money. He as a foundation to fund Korean students, so he's hooking me up with the jobs. My pay comes from his foundation.
