So, I'm in a pretty weird spot right now with my work, I consider myself savvy enough about career related things, but I'm in such a unique place that I'm left scratching my head about my best play. Hear me out:
I graduated last May, with a degree in music. Knowing that, with the pandemic and everything, I would have to let that marinate for a while, I started working in computer repair. I got laid off because I had to have surgery last October, and bounced around for a bit, looking for a job to replace it. Which finally led me to February of this year, when I quit a very toxic job and got another job fixing machines.
The job listing was for a full time position as a field service tech, the pay is the best I've seen yet, and the work environment is great. I really enjoy it. But, I'm a 1099, which means if there aren't any machines to fix, I don't get paid. And it became very obvious that they didn't do any actual field research about how much work is in my town. I would estimate it's about 20 hours a week on average as opposed to 40. To make matters worse, my point of sale system has no analytics function, so I can really only go by feeling as to how much I'm working.
So I start looking again, and I get incredibly lucky and snag a job teaching violin at a music shop. But it's also super lean on hours, about only 8 a week, on Monday and Tuesday (which I did not choose, I replaced a teacher who was quitting).
This all adds up to a really weird position. I can't quit my violin teaching job because it's what I love and the only way to gain experience in my degree field. I would leave my field service tech job and get another IT job as an actual W2 rather than a 1099, but 1 my current job pays way better than the other typical IT jobs here, so I wouldn't actually gain a whole lot of money but would have to work way more hours, and 2 I think having to leave around lunchtime on Mondays and Tuesdays to go teach violin would prevent me from getting an IT job anyway, since they're usually 9-5. And leaving IT to go do some other entry level thing would just leave me with a 40 hour job that I hate, for probably the same or less money to take home anyway.
Which means that I have to get a flexible 3rd job. So far I've tried Doordash, but only dinnertime seems to be profitable, and 6-8pm is the only time I have to spend with my partner. But I've also been spooked out of doing it the past couple of weeks because I clocked in for a 6-8pm shift and sat there for literally an hour getting absolutely nothing, despite the app saying that it was really busy. It made me worry that I was being frontloaded orders as a new person, and that the frontloading had been turned off now that I had been doing it for a while.
The last thing I need is another job that is prone to being slow. Yes, most gig jobs will vary but, I bet there are some that are more even than others. I can't do Uber/Lyft because I have a 2 door, unfortunately.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there some third thing that I could fit in there that would be better than just doing Doordash? Is there a way to use my IT skills to help people? What do you guys think?
