So right now, I’m working on breaking into the career field I want but in the meantime just working a full time job. I was hoping to get more overtime but they’ve basically told me that the factory is slow and not to expect overtime until like September.

I get bombarded with this clickbait things that are like “8 ways to earn extra money this month!” and then it tells you to like play bingo on your phone for money. If those lists were meant to be real instead of ads, what kinds of things would be on them? What can a working person do to say make $500 a month apart from just getting a second job?

    minor one, but prolific is a study site that pays you to do surveys

    Not like, shady ones. It's all universities and proper academia. If any person tries to not pay you or short you, reporting it causes the entire organization to be completely banned so agreements are always honored.

    there's online mechanical turk stuff but that can be pretty soul crushing. You basically just do 'tasks' revolving around gathering data or some shit like that, probably for some fucko's dumb machine learning dataset. iirc amazon runs a big hub for it, but I hear it all pays shit.

    If you know any good plugs you could deal drugs as a side hustle. Buy in bulk then try and find marks who will pay too much for it. That kind of thing.

      I’ll look into that survey site for sure, thanks. Idk about dealing, having a couple little BS charges on my record is part of what really destroyed me economically.
