A Gen Xer who makes $150,000 secretly working multiple remote jobs says 100-hour weeks are worth it

[Hitman]

Last year, Brian earned over $150,000 across multiple remote jobs, according to documents viewed by BI. He said the extra income had helped him pay down credit-card debt and allowed his family to take trips for up to six weeks at a time while he worked remotely. He says he now has two full-time and four part-time jobs and lives in the US for only part of the year because he travels internationally so frequently.

Managing all these jobs can be stressful — Brian said there had been many "hundred-plus-hour weeks" over the past few years. But he said the long hours were worth it: Last year, he was laid off from one of his jobs, but he was well prepared for it.

 

The biggest impact has been the confidence that our family's future is not tied to the success of any one job or any one company," Brian said.

Brian is among the "overemployed" Americans who have secretly worked multiple remote gigs to increase their incomes and job security — BI has interviewed over two dozen of these job jugglers. These people have made as much as $1 million annually across their jobs and used their extra income to pay off student debt, save for retirement, expensive vacation and afford on shopping.

Yeah good for him, but I heard a lot of people who people did multiple jobs have health issues due to stress and paying for hospital bills, not so good either.

Yes as I said in my previous post, you loose some to gain some, but health once lost never comes back.
