What do freelance court reporters (or other self employed people) do to earn extra money when work is slow?

I'm a court reporter that does 95 percent deposition work. Sometimes (especially the summer) I will only end up working 1 day a week. I can't stand sitting around when everyone else is working. What are good ways to make some extra money when work is slow. (It's hard to get a part time job because my scheadule changes from one day to the next and I would like to keep CR my main career.)

Hi there,


getting a 2nd job is also not great cause you'll be paying more tax. Employees get hit hardest.


Have you considered a business of your own that you can work at as time affords?
Reply:Good question.





Maybe as a part time receptionist in a law office..
