I know how chaotic life can get during the school year, and even summer isn't always a break, but I need to find a side gig this summer to pay off some debt. Have any of you taken on any side jobs or activities during the summer to make some extra money? If you’re open to it, I’d love to hear about what you’re doing and how it’s been going for you.

I work at our local ice cream place for the summer. My first motivation was obviously the extra money, but now I look forward to it. They are only open for the summer season so a lot of others are just looking for a temp job. I would honestly kind of miss it if I didn’t do it over the break!

Last summer I started tutoring online through Wyzant, and it was such a lifesaver. The hours were flexible, and I could do it from home in my pajamas. Definitely helped with the extra bills.

I haven't heard of Wyzant! I used to tutor with VIP and 51 Talk. Do you get a referral reward if you have people sign up?

Yes, working in daycare for the summer, when young, and working in a doctor’s office later. Summer school also provides an excellent stipend, with little homework involved.

Yes, I think I would like to find a summer Gig that has nothing to do with students.

For the first eight summers after I got a job teaching, I would go back to the restaurant I worked at in high school and be a server for the summer and also during some breaks just so I could live off the tips now I do some tutoring during the summer for kids who are behind or struggling in summer school it’s a little less embarrassing

I do a bit of freelance work that I found on Upwork during the summers. I tend to do like assistant type work since I am good with a computer and very organized. It definitely helps me pay the bills.

I have thought about looking into Upwork and Fiverr, but couldn't decide if it is worth the time.

I help families plan for college and retirement. It's so different from teaching. Everyone is so grateful for your help.

How do you do this and is there a specific company that does this?

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
