Part time work suggestions? (1 Viewer)

[sbonomo]

Can anyone point me to one of these $200K/year engineering jobs?

You live in Michigan right? They aren't there. HTH.

Any of the big three or many of the suppliers to the big three. I worked on the Leer BK and was flabbergasted at the salaries of their employees. Believe me these guys and gals were not jumping ship either.

Maybe I'm out of touch with salaries in my field and area but I don't think Senior engineers are regularly pulling in 200K around hereMaybe some VP/Director types, but this thread makes it sound like you can go from SAHM to 200K off a 10 year layoff at the drop of a hat

Honestly, the Senior Engineer/VP types I worked with were pulling in $300-$400K before stock options. Not sure how specialized they were but there were a ton of them. My cousin also works in the field for Raytheon designing missiles (New Mexico). He makes well north of that as well.

Are there any nearby colleges? A lot of campuses fill full-time job positions with two part-timers. There might be a few openings during the day that are filled in the evenings by students who have classes during the day or folks who work other jobs. Most campuses will have positions that only run when fall and spring semesters are in session, so your wife would have a lot of non-work time overlapping with the kids' school breaks.

Teaching

Fiver : Site where she can do odd jobs for cash.

My Wife is a PT and I am in the same boat. She doesn't work full time as it is but wants to hover around 20hrs from home. I have been thinking of getting her into flipping stuff on eBay(?) maybe. Also threw the teaching a class in PT school option at her. Masters degree and she wants to stay at home ?

Are you in a decent sized city? Check the theater/arena group(s). My wife used to supervise the ushers as a 2nd job. It was an easy gig for a few hundo/month. Mostly nights and weekends and set your own hours. She had the occasional Joel Osteen Fan Club convention to work but also got some college basketball, stand up, concerts, plays etc.

She doesn't like to do what she was trained in and I'm assuming made good money at....what does like to do?

We can give suggestions all day and it would mean nothing. Is she outgoing? Good/bad with people?

What are her hobbies?

Does she like kids?

WIth a Masters she could teach at a Jr. College. Summers off for sure. Could even get on at a university as a TA or something similar. Also Vo-Techs hire a lot around here.

"All of the teaching jobs are taken", per the OP.

Does she like the outdoors? I'm sure there are plenty of upcoming seasonal jobs at some state parks.

 

[NutterButter]

Why not just volunteer somewhere if she's looking for something to do.

 

[SWC]

She needs to train to become a certified yoga instructor. She can work part time, hopefully she likes it and leads several classes a day (may help her get into better shape) and well there are they yoga pants - See here for example - https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?/topic/716662-school-bans-girls-from-wearing-yoga-pants-too-distracting/page-1:

Get a job as an Engineer at a nuclear plant (palisades or d.c. cook)...suck up a relatively low salary for 3-5 years (70-80k /yr plus approx 10% bonus). Push to get into a Senior Reactor Operator License class, finish class in two years and get a license to operate the plant as SRO (total salary increases to 150k-160k), spend 4 years on shift and qualify shift engineer and shift manager (total salary will break 200k)Be prepared to work hard and study, other than that...doable in about 10 years for an engineer...we have a couple 32 year old engineer shift managers. You can take the same path as a plant operator (Union) with an Engineering degree. In this case you will break 100k within the first couple years with overtime, but you will be on shift from the start.

There are guys (engineers) in the upper mgmt ranks that pull north 300k (guess), but those jobs take a lot more experience and usually an SRO license.

FYI, the national average yearly salary for a senior electrical engineer is $95k.

>$200k is achievable (probably) in a high cost of living area like silicon valley, in some sort of start-up that hits gold, or executive management.

This. Only lawyers are routinely paid $200k and up.

Does she know or like coding? Code academies are popping up all over the country. Supposedly, smart people who never did any coding at all can learn Ruby on Rails and get a $70k job with 12 weeks of training. I don't know about the part-time aspect of coding jobs, but I know a few people who do much of their programming effort from home.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard about a middle aged housewife who's life was missing a little ruby on rails

 

[oldmanhawkins]

What about private tutoring? With the engineering degree she could likely help out with math and physics. But a prep book to get up to speed on the changes and SAT/ACT would be a breeze.

I'm not sure what the going rate in your area is but $100+ per hour is not uncommon around here and you can set your own hours during evenings/weekends.

Let me get this straight:

Your wife has an advanced degree in a pretty high paying field but won't work because she didn't like it? Did I get that right?

Women

 

[Apple Jack]

this is pointless without knowing her hobbies.

 

[NewlyRetired]

My wife and I both had masters degrees in Electrical Engineering before we retired.

We both now have part time jobs at a local library.

She can wait tables at a breakfast/lunch nook from like 8-2 and be home for the kids. Tip $

Does she like sports? Maybe she get a job as a general manager of a baseball team.

It doesn't have to be general manager. Maybe she could be an announcer. You know how she always makes those interesting comments during the game.

I would be really pissed if I married a chick with a Master's in engineering that stopped using after we got married. I'd feel lied to. You know that's one of the things you considered when you decided to marry you and she's ####ed you over.

Especially if money is tight for you, which it must be since she's looking for part-time work.

Your pimp hand is weak dude, start loaning money.

Yep - if anybody should be judging other people's relationships, it's Ron.
