I work full time, have a business maintaining building safety and security systems, have a web site that I manage, have a wife and kids to spend time with, volunteer for an event that takes planning and money raising during the year. Still I have time to stop by facebook and City Data.
I am thinking that this lady can work the 4 jobs if that is her choice. Isn't it all about making choices.
I thought if you have more than one job that would mean you're struggling???
Anyhow it depends on WHY one is working so much; sometimes people juggle different jobs as a way to do more than one thing they want to do also. I don't personally understand that but I digress...

Could be just greed.
I once changed jobs but previous employer decided they needed me and wanted me to be contractor in the evenings. I said no thanks, they said $150/hour, I said I'll be there at 5:30pm. This was around 1999 during tech boom.
I wouldn't have done it forever but for a few months was able to finish paying off wife's student loans.
I've nearly always worked 2 or more jobs, usually while going to school at least part time. That's what you get when you have a rather expensive medical condition and have to constantly work to keep up with the medical bills. Right now I'm in school full time (yay summer session), work a full time gig, fly part time, work part time in a biotech warehouse and clean houses on the weekends.
This woman I know is on facebook bragging about having 4 jobs and she is so glad to be working after being laid off in April. She works the over night shift 12am to 8pm and then works during the day starting at 11am. And the two she makes her own schedule.
Why is wrong with people?-lol
Man, seriously...........come down to earth with the rest of us. That's totally out of line for you to say that about someone that works like that.
If she were on welfare and hanging on FB you'd have something to say about her NOT having a job.
Unless she is working towards something and this in temporary, work ethic is one thing, but this lady is going to work herself into an early grave!! If you HAVE to work 4 jobs to make ends meet, it's time to cut some of those ends. You don't have the time to enjoy them anyway!!
Does she have a family?

Don't you think that's being very judgmental? As it's none of the OP's business how many jobs this woman is working, it really isn't yours either. Now if the woman herself started a thread asking people's opinions that would be one thing but ...
Seeing as you responded in THIS thread as well either we are both being judgmental (and YOU'RE being a hypocrite) or WE aren't. Personally I think your issue with my comment is that it didn't somehow support yours, which would matter IF the thread was about YOU somehow .
Whatever the case NO I don't think it's being judgmental. Work-Life balance is a real issue in this country (ask the person victimized by the child whose parents are never home to raise them right) and somewhere many of got hoodwinked into thinking that it isn't!

Your right, it makes DOLLARS. I think that's the point. It's very tough out there, and some people have to accept part time jobs. If you get enough of them and can make the schedule work, that is how some people are getting by.
If someone is young, then it might make sense to overextend yourself a little to build saving. You can't work like that when you get older, so might as well earn the extra income while you can. Also, money saved at a young age becomes much more money down the road if put into the right places.
It's getting going when the going gets tough. It's guts, drive and determination to self-preserve, and build some security. In life, there are those who crawl into a corner and cry, and those who put on the battle armor and fight their way out. America was build on the latter attitude. I give her credit. 4 Jobs is a heck of a schedule.

Dude, you're out of line on this one.
Ron it's nothing wrong with working 4 jobs I'm just saying that you don't make it into a CELEBRATION you just do what you got to do. If I had 4 jobs i would never be home so what would it be to brag about it? I heard of bragging about having money but not bragging about working 4 jobs to GET the money. Point of this thread is "Facebook friebds don't have to know all your business"
