Is a second job worth it?

I’ve gotten to the point that I think I need a second job, mostly for the sake of my mental health. I’ve been flying 95-120 a month for almost 4 months now, and I am exhausted and so short fused every day that I work, its beginning to affect my personal life. So I’m here to ask what kind of second jobs do some other people have or recommend while flying? I have considered going back to school/obtaining some sort of licensing for either nursing or real estate. I’d love to hear personal experiences with obtaining a second job/career after becoming a flight attendant.

In an ideal world, I would just fly less and work less in general, but due to my financial goals I am trying to achieve and unexpected costs, in addition to planning to move states in December/January, working less overall is not an option, and at year 2 pay, even 120 hours isn’t enough to get me where I want without sacrificing my wellbeing.

Switching airlines

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice and insight especially from anyone who may have made this switch or is currently with SWA. I’m with 🇺🇸 now, but for a while I’ve always kinda wanted to switch to SWA because the company culture seems a lot warmer, no minimum or maximum flying, higher credit trips, and I know the grass always looks greener on the other side so thats why Im asking for insight. Another big reason is I want to live in Austin, but would be commuting if I stay at 🇺🇸, and my seniority isn’t high enough to consistently hold a line at my base. So I’m wondering what reserve life is like, are the trips all consistently high credit, does it vary by base, what are the benefits like when it comes to flying internationally, if you did this switch before, how was it and are you glad you did it?
