In some cases, overemployment requires a level of intestinal fortitude that not everyone can handle. With the stress of managing multiple schedules, the fear of discovery and constant vigilance, the risks may not be worth the reward.

Do you believe the rewards outweigh the risks? Are you concerned with the general perception of everemployment, or is it everyone for themself?

OP that is a really hard question to answer. I am someone who is overemployed and honestly I only do it because I need the money. If one job was enough I wouldnt' work all these extra jobs.

I understand completely! Unfortunately, gone are the days when one job could pay the bills or allow for saving. Don't get me wrong, having more than one job is not a bad thing, and everyone has their reason for it!

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.
