Freelance and full time job - is it possible??

[Hehx3]

Hi all, I am a single mum raising 2 teens, I work full time in IT job and I struggle financially. I started to consider freelance work but wondering if its even possible when I work full time? Realistically I would only have evenings and weekends to offer 😬 Has anybody tried that please? Any other suggestions are very much welcomed.

I studied full time for a masters and worked full time. Be prepared to give up evenings and weekends. If its freelance work, take it a contract at a time and set your expectations from the offset. Eg. Available Mon to Wednesday between 2pm and 10pm, and Saturday 9 to 5pm. Just don't over comitt.

If you can find any please let me know!. I also work in IT and can do evening and Sat. Maybe American companies?
I have DH ( non working disabled) and 2 dds. 1 off to uni next year wanting to do medicine and the other in 3 years wanting to be a vet. I can't afford anything.
Any increase in income advice appreciated ( sorry to hijack)

Check your contract.

@FinallyAPrincessno worries x and not hijacking at all - looks like we are in the same boat.

@Tuebrookyes I have checked that and it is allowed.
Apart from considering freelancing I have tried to do diy mosaics- that did not sell and pyrography that seems like a very slow income and takes ages to do right 😬 I am considering preparing educational materials for children with autism- my boy is autistic and I know how difficult it is to find right stuff.
@FinallyAPrincess well done e for doing your degree and working, I have done that when I was 20, nowdays my brain is not as fast no chance I could do this.
I just dont know if I could keep it all up. My full time job is very often full on.
