  • Getting new job experiences

  • Acquiring new skills

All these are exciting prospects of getting an additional job but you should also consider the fact that;

Dual jobs increases stress levels.

It goes without saying that handling two jobs at a time can be highly stressful. It takes a lot of work to manage the two lives along with all the minor troubles like commuting, keeping to time, and delivering excellence on both fronts.

It also triggers stress induced illnesses like; migraine, heart problems, erectile dysfunction in men, and stroke.

It’s hard to believe that stress induces problems like erectile dysfunction but studies have proven it true. You’re placing your health at risk when you expose your body to such high stress.

Taking on two jobs could possible reduce productivity

Handling two jobs at a time plays on our ability to focus. You could be at work ‘a’ but all the while be distracted by thoughts about work ‘b’. This lack of concentration inadvertently affects overall productivity.

It also takes a toll on personal relationships

Taking a second job means having even less time for yourself and those around you. Others might not be as understanding of your predicament leading to conflicts. On the other hand the stress of both jobs could make you irritable and cost you your relationship with people.

One of the jobs could be neglected

Try as much as you can to strike a balance, somehow one of the jobs will suffer from this arrangement because more attention will be given to the other. It may not be an intentional act but it does tend to happen a lot.

If you can’t strike a balance somehow then there really is no need for you to take on two jobs. Stick to one and make the most of it. On the other hand if you find yourself able to tolerate the many downsides of having dual jobs then congratulations and good luck.
