I know nothing about how this works so I apologize in advance, but If I take a continuing education writing class, would that be considered as eligible for a write off on my taxes? There's a second city class and a class from a university that I have been eyeing. (Unfortunately my agency will not help cover it, have already asked)

I was offered a contractor role (~20 hours a week) at 90/hour. This is extremely attractive because it’ll double my income (and the tax deductions from 1099 are solid). With that being said, I also want to see what kind of conflicts I can see given that I’m at a B4 firm.

I get the whole “you can’t have a second job” thing and don’t care but I’m actually worried about causing major conflict of interest.
