Job hunting ;)

In all honesty, I find that when people working full-time jobs look for side projects, either their not happy with the job they have or their job underpays them. (That's not to say that working on fun side projects that happen to lead to revenue is a bad thing, but seeking side project revenue is not a great indicator).

Things that I've heard from friends: - Shopify sites - Consulting - Tutoring / teaching - Affiliate sales

Or they just don't get fulfilled spending all day making someone else rich?

To add to this, I also don't get to program as part of my day job so it let's me scratch my creative/building and making itch that I do not get as a business analyst.

Err-- just because someone has a side project and/or wants to make money outside of work does not mean they are underpaid or not happy.

I have always pursued my own endeavors because I want to earn passive income and be independently wealthy. I don't want to work for someone else for the rest of my life.
