Why do you feel the need to work a second job, why would that be better? Wouldn't you rather be a part of your local community and put effort there rather than a private enterprise?



Two jobs pay two salaries.


There's more to life than working. Why do you feel it's necessary to work two jobs in an industry that typically pays more than the median home income in 99% of cities in the US?


There’s more to work than getting a salary.

Yes but wouldn't you rather get this through your community, family, and friends? You know the things that don't have dominion over your ability to survive?

Not necessarily.

What can I say, I enjoy programming and making stuff with a group.


Yeah, that's also an option.
