if you're thinking about working
multiple jobs you're probably already
aware of some of the benefits making
more money learning some new skills
maybe even exploring a new career path
while all of these are great it's
important to keep in mind that there are
some hidden costs involved as well
multiple jobs means multiple schedules
you'll need to successfully balance
these and that can be difficult if
you're not organized it can get
stressful and you may end up losing one
or more of your jobs if you work two
jobs in one day their employers will
also need to know your availability
you'll have to make sure your schedules
don't overlap and that you have enough
time to get from one job to another and
if you need to take time off for any
reason you'll need to coordinate this
with all of your employers another
hidden cost is trying to maintain a
healthy work/life balance the more time
you spend at work the less time you have
to devote to things like your family
relationships hobbies and more so before
you pick up another job you're going to
want away its benefits against the time
that it'll take up you'll probably want
to talk about this with your family or
significant other because it'll impact
them to working a lot of hours can also
be a big source of stress if you get too
burned out it can take a toll on your
work performance and possibly affect
your health losing sleep getting sick or
just having an overall bad mood are a
few ways it could negatively impact you
if you feel like multiple workloads
would be too much to handle you might
want to reconsider having another job
while working several jobs is a great
way to make more money it can also
create extra expenses you'll need to pay
for transportation between jobs and you
may end up eating out more since you'll
have less time to prepare meals and if
you have kids and you or your family
can't be with them you'll need to pay
for childcare we realize all of this
sounds pretty negative but don't let it
discourage you these are just some
things to think about before making a
final decision you might find that
you're able to handle the effects of
working multiple jobs in the end it's
entirely up to you and really depends on
your own personal circumstances
