Get a (Night) Job!
Starting your day when others have finished theirs could mean more money for you! You may be tempted to think that working the night shift—so fondly referred to as the graveyard shift—is about as desirable as plucking your nose hairs with a pair of tweezers. If you take another look, however, you will find that often the benefits oughtweigh the drawbacks...especially when it comes to your paycheck!
Most professions offer a premium to work overnight. There are many jobs that offer extra benefits to night workers, including police officer, nurse, truck driver and bartender. If you're still not convinced, just think of the other upside—no more early morning meetings or crowded commutes!
What do you think? Would you ever work the night shift? [MSN Money]
LOOOOOOVE 3RD SHIFT; And for me this includes any shift falling between the hours of 9pm to 9am. Love it. The crap my friends put up with during so call normal hours is ridiculous. I love arriving at work not knowing about any of the drama that happened during the day. I don't even accept calls from 'friends' who are trying to give me the scoop. I much rather not know. No administrators, no phones ringing constantly, lower stress levels, and for my line of work, sleeping on the job is recommended. I am a home health care aide. Often times I am sent in so there is someone there to assist if needed. Oftentimes I am not needed for more than a med reminder or physical stabilizer for someone who has difficulty moving around independently. But I have worked other industries where I had to be awake all night. And I still love it. I can do a lot of paperwork type stuff that I normally couldn't do during the day.
I worked the late shift at a hotel when i was much younger so that i could go to school during the day. i would consider working the late shift if the pay differential was especially nice. i would not be able to do it for more than a year or two as it is a weird way to live.
