I Got My Dream Side Job!!

December 7th, 2010 at 02:01 am

I just got my dream ideal side job!! A friend of mine passed along my resume to his boss for a part-time teaching job on Fort Jackson. He's leaving next month so they called me today and offered me the job. Basically I will be employed through San Diego City College teaching Army soldiers going through training Personal Finance. The program is sponsored by the Army Personal Financial Management Program and it basically teaches them how to budget, balance checkbooks, create spending plan, read credit reports, etc.. At a minimum I can work one Saturday a month like me friend or I could work every Saturday(but I know I won't do that). He showed me his pay stub and basically he made $200 for one 8 hour day a month. And the lady told me they have a mandatory retirement plan where they take 3.5% of your pay and matches it by the same amount.

I'm sooooooooooooo excited becuase this allows me to do 2 things that I love: teach and talk about money. As you know I will be retiring from the Air Force in 18 months and this provides me the experience that I need for the Certification Financial Planning Program I'm currently enrolled in as well. I can't beleive that I will be earning snowflakes doing something that I love to do. Now that's Financial Peace!!!

    That is really awesome! What type of Certified Financial Planning are you enrolled in? Is it through a college or university or through an online program or what? I'm just curious as I have been thinking of doing something along those lines

    @HouseHopeful, the CFP program I'm enrolled with is thru a local Technical College. It's a 18 month program. I know that there are also online programs. Check out www.cfp.edu(I believe)

    Congrats on getting the gig, that is fantastic news! It seems like it will lead to hands-on experience in what you love, plus you are getting paid for it. Not too shabby of a deal! Do you have any insurance that you can continue from semester to semester, or how does that work? Enjoy!
