Q & A: Flexible Jobs for Sandwich Generation: Make Your Own Job (Supplemental)
Earlier
today, we looked at a question from a member of the Sandwich
Generation who needs to find flexible work. There are a
number of ways to make a living while caring for two generations and
there were some pretty good suggestions on the topic in that earlier
post.
There are a couple other options available to those who need a flexible way to earn a living, however:
Freelance.
When
the word "freelance" is mentioned, most think of writers or
photographers (those two fields, by the way, are easy to make part
time money from, but tough ways to make a full-time living). But
there are many other ways to freelance. You can freelance in tons
of other occupations - from secretarial to accounting. Two good
sites to check out if you're interested in freelancing are eLance.com
and Guru.com.

Start
your own business(es).
You can start a lawn mowing business for summer time income, a
snowplowing business for the winter, have a birthday clown business
for weekends and an interior painting business during the days and
times that are convenient for you. By starting several
"micro-businesses," you'll ensure steady income and a
flexible schedule.
