^{I don’t have to remind most about the current job market in the US. Those employed full time are lucky.  Those employed full time and enjoy what you do are a minority.  Full time employment offers the benefits of healthcare, 401 K etc.  What you give up for these benefits are 8 hours per day working and depending on how far away you live a couple of hours commute.  There are many companies hiring for part-time employment.  Before being fortunate to find a Full Time job I enjoy (despite the commute) over the last 2 years I have worked 3-4 part time jobs with varying schedules.  Most of the time, I worked on my own schedule with good pay.  More importantly, I enjoyed them and still enjoy working a couple of them with my full time job for additional income.  My biggest success with finding part time employment has come from has come from Craigslist.  There are many other job search site out there.  Looking for work is a fulltime job.  Don’t over look the part time jobs on your quest.}
