Decent Side Jobs/Gigs

Hello everyone.
What are some decent side jobs/activities that a young man with limited experience and education can get?
I have a full time job plus volunteer for overtime, but it would be nice to have a 2nd source of income that I can set aside for personal use.
Thank you for your responses.

My response was to Shailynn.
Evening gigs that probably won’t interfere with your day job:
Uber/Lyft driver
Bartender/waiter
Many retail stores need weekend help
Home repair/painter
If you’re not all that but decent looking.. you can get a gig at a gay club. My ex bf was a shot boy lol
Some of the barbacks at busy clubs make a lot in tips too
Better to run the operation yourself, then to be an employee.

@ georgmicrodong
Skills? None, really. At least none that are accredited or have a degree behind them. If you were to ask me what I'm good at the list is slightly longer. I think I'm decently attractive, I'm a good listener, I enjoy writing and have been told I have a modicum of skill in it, and I'm still young so I have that most valuable asset of all: time.
@ flagooner
Honest question: how much does a pee troll actually make? We don't have those at any local clubs.
@ PhatBoy99
What do you mean by "hustle" and how would I get started with mine?
@ ToyChaser
I'll look up sperm donation and see what I can get for that. Honestly, if I had a stronger stomach I might even try being a gay prostitute but the thought of being bent over and penetrated by another man makes my stomach churn.
@ shailynn
Uber/Lyft is a possibility, but the industry is inundated. I'll try looking up information and see what local drivers are averaging to see if it's worth a try. I also need to factor in gas and wear and tear.
How much money do bartenders make and how would I get started?
@ Call.Me.Ishmael
Welding sounds interesting but I have almost zero experience working with my hands. Is that something I could learn at a community college or would I need to find a welding apprenticeship? How much money could I earn?
@ Warrenboy75
Thank you for the tip on Amtrak. My username is not based on an actual pizza shop, but from my interest in pizza in general. Now I know there's a place called Echo Pizza though.
@ PaulDrake
By parting cars I assume you mean taking cars apart and selling them for scrap? A Russian household near where I lived as a child did that out of their garage. How do I get started with that?
@ Papi_Chulo
Good idea about working smarter not harder. It's tough though because I just don't know quite what my passions or natural aptitudes are.
@ Nicole1994 @ zoey101
I'm not sure I qualify as a male stripper. I think I have a decent face and I could work out, but I don't know how to dance and my penis is just average in both length and thickness. Maybe being a cam boy?
Shot boy sounds interesting. Will I get groped by men though? I don't mind as long as they tip.
Barback sounds intriguing as well. Is there any skills or experience I would need, or do I basically go from bar to bar and ask to be hired?
@ san_jose_guy
What kind of business would you recommend I start?
@ tahoecruz
What skills do you see being marketable in the next 10-20 years? I made a separate thread which I believe you commented in which is about long term money and career. This thread is about finding something I can do that won't interfere with my primary job and can generate some funds for extracurricular activities.
The pay will vary based on your skill and type of work. But a really loose range is from $17 to $50 / hour. I know a guy who is traveling the world on his welding skills. He shows up at autobody and fabrication shops, shows them what he can do, and gets paid cash under the table for as long as he's there.
It can be a side gig or a career. Up to you.
Is it the vocation du jour as bitcoin is to investing and libertarianism is to political philosophy?
It has always been a highly marketable skill.
I know other guys who make decent money doing furniture pieces, interior / exterior furnishings, and sculpture.
It's a very versatile skill. You can take it in many industrial or creative directions.
Of course that is going to come from you, but you will have much to learn, and the best sorts of things are usually those which are not really job, as much as being an asset which you run, but does not require your continual pretense.
I have made some progress in this direction myself, over the last 20 years. But now I have much bigger things in play and I am moving much further.

Yeah that vague BS explains why you're so busy that you can come here every day and continuously post for 6 hours.

@ Call.Me.Ishmael
OK, I will see what welding training or jobs are available in my area.
@ san_jose_guy
Which resources would you recommend to learn how to start a business? Good luck with your plans with your business.
Interesting idea. I saw a couple videos where a guy would dumpster dive next to Gamestops and he would find used games and accessories that he could flip on Craigslist and eBay for a couple dollars each. How much money could I expect to earn if I did this?
I'd strongly advise against Uber or Lyft, unless you are hard up to pay your bills. Once you factor in the depreciation on your car, gasoline, oil changes, and maintenance, you are making less than minimum wage. Most Uber drivers do look at their revenue and are not factoring in the costs. You will also find most people are cheap and do not tip.

Thank you for your information.
