<prompt> Human: Hey all, first post here so hopefully I dont get any backlash on whether this is supposed to be here or not! Anyways, i am an accounting student currently working for an accounting firm as a summer job on an hourly basis. I work 9-5 and work pretty hard within those 8 hours, but the problem is, when I get off work I feel like I could and should be doing something else to be making some petty cash and or disposable income. What have you guys done in the past andor have been doing in the present whether it be trading stocks or your own ideas. Any advice on this topic helps a ton!  <response>: Dont trade stocks. Thats gambling, and youre more likely to lose money than make any. Get another job. Tend bar, wait tables, anything.
