would you recommend to work 2 to 4 weekend days per month to earn a bit of extra money if you already have a full time position? (linux.community)

I'm a German nurse interviewing for 9 to 5 office jobs.

If I get one of these jobs, I wanted not to completely leave nursing: my system pays better than other local hospitals and I don't want my experience to go to waste. I wanted to work 2 to 4 weekend days per month, only second shift (shift starts at 12:30 and ends at 21:30), 'cause this is considered the easy shift and I want the extra money, but if I don't like it, I can always change units or just work my office job.

I'm curious to hear answers from both sides of the Atlantic

Personally, I wouldn't even consider it, as I value my time and health far more than getting some extra money. 40 hours is already quite a lot IMO.

I'm with you, but for many young people these days it's almost not an option. But I'm also in Canada so...

a nurse in germany earns a living wage. You won't get rich, but you can live comfortably (if you don't plan to have a family).
