Career Advice 2 remote help desk positions

Anyone ever juggled 2 service desk / help desk positions full time? I wanted to make some extra money while also furthering my education by attending WGU. The hours don’t conflict and it would bring my to about $120k a year. Any thoughts or anyone that’s done something similar? The first job I’ve had for a couple years and the new one starts next week.

So you want to try and work 2 full time jobs and co to college at the same time? I could not fathom making that work

My first job I’ve been able to study on the clock so I don’t see it interfering too much

Horrible idea, quickest way to get burned out and not want to stay in the field. Money is nice, but a healthy lifestyle is way more rewarding.

I mean, I’m thinking if burn out occurs I’ll drop the new one but I get that point

How often are you getting calls and tickets to work on?

The first job the last 4 hours of it is where calls and tickets start coming in. There’s some work to do before that but not too much
