When you're already working eight-plus hours per day, the last thing you really want to do is put on a happy face and go to another job. But in today's tough economy, some workers don't have a choice.

My full-time-job salary goes to all my student loans, bills and car payments, while my second paycheck goes towards things that I need or want," says Laura Gutierrez, a full-time marketing assistant for a Minneapolis-based law firm and a part-time liquor store associate. "I make it work because I have to. It's nice that my second job is really flexible and can fit around my unusual hours at the law firm."
