Fun Side Jobs That Won’t Have You Stuck Behind a Desk
by Mel @ brokeGIRLrich / July 5, 2022
Let’s face it, we all hate being stuck behind a desk all week. If you’re longing to break away from the office routine while earning extra cash, I have some great news for you. There are lots of exciting part-time gigs that do not involve sitting at a desk all day. Here are a few fun ideas to get you started:
1. **Interior Designer**
Do you love arranging your home and get compliments on your decor? Maybe you should consider offering your services as an interior designer. You could take some photos of both your work in your own home and any designs you’ve created for friends. These photos can make a great portfolio. And to polish your skills, try out some design programs on your tablet.
2. **Event Planner**
Detail-oriented party lovers, this one’s for you! You can become a freelance event planner, which involves fun tasks like choosing decorations, arranging catering, meeting clients, and booking venues. You’d be moving about your town rather than sitting at a desk. To gain some experience, consider organizing events for your friends and family for free initially.
3. **DJ**
If music is your thing, think about becoming a DJ. Unlike most musicians who spend a lot of time sitting and creating music, being a DJ gives you more freedom to stand and move about. With a laptop, you can take your setup anywhere and, by booking gigs and earning tips, you can make around $30 to $50 an hour.
4. **Tutoring Service**
If you’re good at something like playing an instrument, why not share your skills by tutoring? You can offer lessons to children in your neighborhood, especially after school hours. This gig not only helps you earn some extra cash but also keeps you active.
So why stick to a desk if it’s not good for your health? Choose a side job that gets you moving!
