Here are my thoughts:

Survey sites - you need PATIENCE. At 50p a survey it's going to take a while to get that £50 YouGov cheque. Yes, there are £5 surveys but not many. Is this really worth your time? (I still do this but not seriously).

Mystery shopping - need to be done in set times so not good for lawyers who need to drop everything. Also you don't get £££, just free or discounted unhealthy food. (I gave up on this when qualified, but was good when a student)

Deliveroo - No bones to pick but you need proof of proper insurance. (Info from a friend).

Starting your own blog to earn from affiliate links - Good luck finding time to generate regular content on multiple platforms. And I will find out out if you (imaginary trainee) are blogging during the working day when I asked you to do something for me urgently!!!

For the most part, I would still like to get married. However, practically every married friend that I have is trying to passionately discourage me from ever doing so. I mean, like 80% of them are decrying that this is the worst mistake they’ve ever made, hands down. Now, should I just chalk it up to perhaps the type of friends that I have, or is this actually sage advice that I should be taking more seriously? Thoughts?
If it helps, I’m F and so are the discouragers; ages 38-40.

HELP! I’ve been contacted by a small private security firm who wants me to be their “on call” counsel. They describe it as a lot of contract review, drafting NDAs, etc. but also being there if/when they need to license a vehicle, defend civil suit, etc. It’s overwhelming but sounds like a really great opportunity. I have enough background to be comfortable with contracts and litigation, but don’t want to get myself into a mess. Has anybody else ever had a job like this?
