So to add some context I work at Amazon currently as a step van driver I make decent ($26.25/hr) but taxes and 401k eat at the check. With rent in my area starting around $1100 to $1200 minimum for a basic 3bd 1BR what could I do as a second job that’s consistent Im off typically Sunday to Tuesday and I end work around 8:30 to 9
If there are other jobs paying as much this or more pls feel free to mention im open to options
What job can I work as my second? I need to be able to afford rent

3rd shift warehouse or sorting at a fedex/ups hub. or night security.
Look for something flexible and consistent like warehouse shifts with Amazon, or stuff like DoorDash or Uber Eats, or even overnight stocking or security work.
Why do you need 3 BR?
Do you need 3 bedrooms? With that many bedrooms I’d be expecting roommates or a spouse with income, can you get away with a 1 or 2 bed which may be more affordable?
If you need more income, I second the DoorDash/Delivery thing, it’s not crazy money but if all you need is some extra coming in it’s nice but I get how a second job driving around might be mind numbing. The flexibility to work when you’re able to is nice though. Weekend only gigs will be hard if you’re not free both Saturday and Sunday, but you might be able to talk someone into a Sunday/Monday.
3rd shift work is also a choice, but you do run the risk of absolutely killing your health trying to mix days and nights when you have a job that’s mostly driving
$1100 for a basic…3bedroom? How many roommates do you have?
