I'm curious if anyone here has a second job not related to EMS or any type of Public Safety.

I kind of want to try my hand at selling cars or something, just for the challenge.

Before I was a medic, when I was part time as an EMT, I also worked part time and seasonal for UPS.

Can't show pictures from work, but I'm a lead software engineer in the nuclear industry at a facility which designs and manufactures nuclear fuel (it also designs reactors themselves and their serviceable components).
My group focuses on automation of existing software processes (can't exactly get our software at Best Buy), visualization of analyses, and the optimization of fuel design/loadouts. I also do systems administration for our computational cluster (~70 16-32 processor machines w/ 24-32G RAM each, 18TB of online storage).
I work in an 8'x8' cell, errr, cubicle, with 3 computer monitors on my workstation. My left two monitors containing development environments (a mix of Fortran, C, and C# development) and the right one running Google Chrome (typically documentation for various software frameworks).
About the best I can describe it.

Live sound is better
Infact lighting is better than sound
Here's what I do, besides FF/ EMS
Mulching
Storm clean up/ tree removal
Lawn care
Snowplowing
Sodding/ landscaping
Can't find any sprinkler work jobs...
Used to be in the sound and lighting gig, kinda wish I stayed in it a little more.

What is your schedule like and how does doing EMS work out for you?
I'm a freelance musician / piano teacher / math+english+SAT tutor. However, I've come to realize it's tough to make enough money doing this, at least if I want to retire or "semi-retire" at some point...
I actually haven't even started my EMT-B class yet, but in theory EMS work should compliment a music career really well. The ability to work 24-hour shifts means you get more time to do other things (ie if you work a 24 it only takes one day, whereas if you work three 9-5 shifts you basically lose three whole days). It's also something I've always been interested in so I think it should be a really good fit for me.
I want to do something on the side with cars but don't really know what.
Selling cars and dealers is a dirty game though.

It's actually a radio station. Before I became a medic, I did 20+ years in broadcasting, and now I just do fill in/part time at a couple of local stations when they need me.
I certainly don't do it for the money, more because its fun, I'm kinda good at it ... And I miss it. As a medic, I work 2 days/2 nights and have 4 days off, so I have plenty of time to work an occasional radio shift.

Ahhhhh, hence the "Cool 101.3" logo... Pretty cool.

Oh, I fully agree. Manipulative, stupid and exploitative as it is. That being said, a good, professional salesman is still someone helpful. The salesman I bought my truck from was nothing but honest and professional, and it earned him my business.
There are some good ones. I'd love to try it but I doubt a dealer would let me play part time.
Another thing Id like is to sell real truck accessory/camping/expedition stuff for Jeeps and Land Cruisers. Non-bro trucks lol. Owning a Land Cruiser/Toyota shop would be a dream.

I coach rowing with a high school team in the area. I have to say I enjoy being an EMT more. I love the sport of rowing, just not a huge fan of babysitting high school kids.
It's iffy on whether it applies to EMS, but I occasionally work at a funeral home. It is kinda odd getting a call for a wake/funeral on my cell at work a few hours after working them. Yes, I turn those jobs down.
I also work at a florist delivering, some DJing, and I'm trying to figure out how to get the proper paperwork taken care of to legally produce certain adult beverages.

I worked as a student-athletic trainer for a division 1 hockey program for three years. Out of their season I float around covering other sports (mostly women's lacrosse this year) and train new hires.
What school, if you don't mind me asking?
