Not really. The extra work I'm doing isn't enough to be considered a full time job. I'm also not doing it to live lavishly, I'm doing it out of necessity. I sympathize with anyone who is out of work right now, but I don't feel badly for doing whatever I can to keep my head above water.

Great point! The struggle to afford daily essentials can be difficult for many people. I'm working more than one job for that reason and hope currently unemployed people are able to find work.
The thought has absolutely occurred to me, and while I will still continue to do all the work I can get, I have felt guilty a few times. My situation is basically needing to be overemployed just to keep my head above water. Would gladly scale down if I reasonably could.

Agreed! In some cases, overemployment becomes a necessity rather than a choice.
