But I want more money, so now what? Go back to the office (makes me want to put a gun to my head) and climb the ladder, or do something else with my "free" time?

I have also given a lot of thought to taking on a second full-time, work-from-home job. As long as I were doing it in totally different industry, I could probably keep both jobs a secret from the other one. But I haven't found the right gig yet. I did see an ad on Craigslist a while back for a German document translator, which would have paid $40 per hour. But it required the person to be a member of the DC bar and to work in their DC law office. I emailed the lady, told her I could do that job in my sleep from home and did she know any lawyers I could hire for $40 per hour? No response.
