Haroldine136 3 Posted February 16 Looking for some suggestions regarding a secondary income steam/side hustle in order enhance my total income. Since the nuances of being a lawyer takes up so much time as is, ideally something weekend based or evening based would make the most sense. If you guys have any suggestions that would be great, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuincyWagstaff 3455 Posted February 16 You want to trade what I assume is very limited downtime to hustle for a few extra pennies? That blows my mind. Why not just bill more? Wouldn’t that pay more than almost any “side hustle” you could (legally) do? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CleanHands 2646 Posted February 16 Is the legal market really so bad that you have to drive for Uber on the side instead of just taking on a few more files? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HornOkPlease 12 Posted February 17 Day trading/investing. Start with $500 after you acquire some basic knowledge. It can get very profitable in a few months. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As if taking on a few more files means making more money. For most people it means making the firm more money - not themselves. There are plenty of folks under loads of debt and possibly in any number of situations that could make salaries tight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you guys have any suggestions that would be great, thanks! Do you have any money to invest in the thing? Do you have any skills/knowledge you can monetize, aside from the obvious legal stuff? What type of law do you do? Can it be leveraged into something else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rashabon 3356 Posted February 17 Start an OnlyFans, though presumably if you were capable of being successful at that, you wouldn't need to be a lawyer in the first place. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to suggest being a sugarbaby. There seem to be at least a few professional students/early in career professionals that manage to make quite a bit this way. I think average general allowance is about $3k/mo. A good looking smart person could probably command quite a bit. It also seems to be more discrete than traditional sex work since one wouldn’t have as many partners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjbean 386 Posted February 17 The pay isn't great, but proofreading tends to match well with lawyers' skill sets: https://proofreading.org/about/careers/. It's extremely flexible. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
