Night Shift Jobs May 5, 2010 - 18:48:32
I’ve never been a morning person. Even after I brought two children into the world and found myself up at almost any hour imaginable, I still dreaded mornings. My husband and I are not made of money. Once the daycare prices started to skyrocket, we knew that we’d have to find another method of surviving and making ends meet. After much conversation, we decided that one of us was going to need to start looking into some night shift jobs and the other would continue to work during the daytime. This new plan would save us the hassle of trying to pay for daycare on a full-time basis. It seemed to only make sense that I be with the children during the day and be the one to look into finding some night shift jobs since I wasn’t too fond of being at work so early in the morning.
I wasn’t sure what kind of opportunities I’d even be able to find once I started to search for night shift jobs. I usually thought of night shift jobs as being cleaning people for offices, security guards or working in a factory. Once I started my quest to find a night shift job, I was surprised at how much was actually available in other careers. I quickly realized that hospitals never close. They operate twenty-four hours a day. There were lots of night shift jobs available in the medical field. Answering services for doctor’s offices are always on duty as well. I looked into both of those possibilities but I truly wasn’t interested in either field. I couldn’t see myself being a security guard or working in a factory. Though I must say, some night shift jobs in factories were offering a pretty decent salary.
After a few weeks, I found a job at a newspaper. I would be working from 7:00 until 3:00 in the morning. I had never even considered the fact that a daily newspaper office very rarely closes its doors. After I had taken the time to look around and see how many places actually do offer night shift jobs, our lives became a bit less chaotic. We had more money to survive. Sure, our marriage was tested and we didn’t get to spend as much time together as we would have liked to have, but the need for survival took over. If you find yourself in the same predicament and searching for night shift jobs – simply open your eyes. Perhaps an employment agency could help you find a job. Or, you can take the time to look around and notice how many stores, companies and facilities are actually open twenty-four hours a day. With the world focusing on becoming more convenient for everyone, more and more places are focusing on being available for customers at any hour of the day. Finding a night shift job has become quite a bit easier.
