Second Job to pay debts?

Strokesfan

I currently have a full-time job in administration with a pretty good company - nice conditions, good wages but I'm a total spendaholic and I owe some money on credit cards (nothing too serious).

I'm thinking of taking on some form of second job - just to use this money to clear the debt.

I'm know the usual jobs are bars, babysitting one night a week etc but is there anything anyone knows of that's more lucrative and doesn't take up too much time. Like being a rep for supermarket products or something?

Any suggestions appreciated.

The problem with those well paid weird jobs is that they have a tendency to be very irregular, e.g. one Saturday per month.

If I were you I'd take a comfortable call centre job. You know, Eircom tech support a few nights a week and a Sunday.

Well done for trying to tackle your debt before it gets out of hand.

pow wow

Things like mystery shopping can add a few quid during lunch hours/weekends. You'll often find out-of-hours answering services, gp telephonists etc pay a bit more than retail or call centre stuff. I used to work Cash Office in a department store on weekends while holding down my 9-5 during the week; the money wasn't great but it was easy to sit on my bum all day counting someone else's money

How much is your tax now, and will getting another job bring you into another tax bracket?

Also, try nixers in a local building site, etc, such as carrying bricks, etc.
