Yup.

I work 50 to 60 hours a week at a farm/food store as their Advertising Manager/Creative Director.

I teach 6 hours a week at night at a local art college.

And I work about 10 to 20 hours a week doing freelance design work.

I do these many hours because my wife has been unemployed for over two years.

When she manages to land a new job (hopefully soon), I’ll probably do the same three jobs, just a lot less hours.

My first job is a student in eighth grade. My second is a hotel worker.

Thank you for answering. :] I tend to have many jobs lately as well and its funny that it is also in the design field. In the past months many have told me that it is not healthy or normal, when I see it perfectly sane, and something to admire. Or at least it is something in other people that I have always admired, being successful in holding many jobs or activities in their lives. Though, I must admit, I always wish their were more hours in the day to also do things for myself, friends or family. But being busy is what makes me feel safe and happy.
I wish you and your wife the best of luck in the next year, hopefully she is able to find a job soon. :]

Thanks for the well wishes millastrellas.

I too have always had many balls in the air since I was 17.

I just don’t like when I have to do it. One likes the option to stop once in a while.

I work two jobs mainly to support my family, although some of the second job is for professional development and personal growth.
