If you're thinking about working multiple jobs, you're probably already aware of some of the benefits

00:00:05.410 --> 00:00:09.660
Making more money learning some new skills, maybe even exploring a new career path

00:00:10.330 --> 00:00:15.450
While all of these are great. It's important to keep in mind that there are some hidden costs involved as well

00:00:16.660 --> 00:00:18.750
multiple jobs means multiple schedules

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:24.240
You'll need to successfully balance these and that can be difficult. If you're not organized

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:28.080
it can get stressful and you may end up losing one or more of your jobs

00:00:28.689 --> 00:00:33.269
If you work two jobs in one day. Their employers will also need to know your availability

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:39.480
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

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:44.640
If you need to take time off for any reason, you'll need to coordinate this with all of your employers

00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:49.139
Another hidden cost is trying to maintain a healthy work/life balance

00:00:50.050 --> 00:00:54.689
The more time you spend at work the less time you have to devote to things like your family

00:00:55.210 --> 00:00:59.370
Relationships hobbies and more. So before you pick up another job

00:00:59.370 --> 00:01:03.300
You're going to want away its benefits against the time that it'll take up

00:01:03.670 --> 00:01:09.269
you'll probably want to talk about this with your family or significant other because it'll impact them too

00:01:10.299 --> 00:01:13.409
Working a lot of hours can also be a big source of stress

00:01:13.409 --> 00:01:18.868
If you get too burned out, it can take a toll on your work performance and possibly affect your health

00:01:19.689 --> 00:01:24.689
Losing sleep getting sick or just having an overall bad mood are a few ways

00:01:24.689 --> 00:01:32.549
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

00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:39.600
While working several jobs is a great way to make more money. It can also create extra expenses.

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:45.700
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

00:01:45.700 --> 00:01:51.119
And if you have kids and you or your family can't be with them, you'll need to pay for childcare

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.040
We realize all of this sounds pretty negative, but don't let it discourage you

00:01:56.380 --> 00:01:59.369
These are just some things to think about before making a final decision

00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.200
You might find that you're able to handle the effects of working multiple jobs

00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:10.000
In the end, it's entirely up to you and really depends on your own personal circumstances
