 What's up you guys? So I know like a lot of people who have seen PAs and they're doing all of these various different things and you're like, well, I mean, if you have a really good paying job, why do you need a side hustle? Well, if you wanna know the answer to this question, this video's for you. Let's get into the video right now. What's up you guys? It's the Donna. Welcome back to my channel. So this was something that I was kind of thinking about myself and was like, why do I see all of these PAs with side hustles? Like they're doing all of these various different things. And honestly, I kind of started doing that own side hustle when I was in PA school with consultations and doing those various different sessions. And then even I jumped on the side hustle bandwagon and I started Get That See University along with incorporating like consultations. And I think it's really important as a PA and just as someone in general to always have a side hustle. And so do you necessarily need a side hustle as a PA? No, do you need a side hustle as a person in general? No, but for me, I think you do, okay? And here's why. So you may have your main job, your main thing that's going on, but it's always nice to have something that is able to supplement that and bring that into a better space where you can take that supplemental money and put it off for your savings and have like three to six months saved up of your bills. So in case anything happens, that side hustle money is there, it's safe, it's ready for you to use in case of an emergency. A lot of PA's do the side hustle thing because they don't wanna be a PA for the rest of their life and they wanna be able to own their own business and be their own boss and make their own whatever, schedule, money, whatever it is that they wanna do. And I say more power to you. And I think that that is really important to own things. So definitely if you are somebody of that entrepreneur mindset because it's not everybody and it's not for everybody and that's okay, but if you are then having your own business owning your own side hustle is very beneficial to you. So there are PA's that do various different things and I'm gonna just give you a list of a few things like consulting, which many of us do, doing any type of like consultation sessions. You can do research. You can also even do like locums as a PA side hustle. So if you have a particular schedule that affords you the opportunity to be away for like two or three or four weeks depending on if you're able to take PTO time, but also incorporate like your work schedule into that, then a locums job for three weeks or four weeks, those short-term locums jobs, even a week I would say is a benefit because you can make anywhere from five to $7,000 in a week and that is like a week's worth of work when a lot of us are making $7,000 for the month. Just keeping that in mind, those are things that you're able to do. Other side hustles are being teachers or professors. You can be an expert witness for various different like legal cases. Upon doing that, you can also do like coaching which kind of falls under the realm of consultations and then you can do media related stuff like YouTube. So there are very various different options that you have. Is it necessary if you're asking Adana? The answer is yes, but others may say no, not necessary, but you will see and I'm sure you have seen many PAs with side hustles and it's not because the money isn't right because the money is nice, okay? Like I'm not gonna lie to you guys, you make really good money as a PA. However, it's nice to be able to own your own space, own your own thing and not really have to rely on anybody else with all of the hard work that you're putting in to bring in that income, okay? So just some things to think about if you're thinking about trying to get into a side hustle. There are lots of opportunities out there for you as a pre-PA student. There are lots of opportunities out there for you as a PA student and as a PAC. You just have to find your niche and what void you can fill, okay?
