More than 320,500 self-employed people in Britain are working two or more jobs, new analysis suggests.
A study by the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed (IPSE) - seen by 5 Live's Wake Up To Money - shows that 7% have launched an additional business.
One term that seems to be sticking is "slashie", as in: "I am a chef/blogger/dog walker."
Sam Gray is a so-called "slashie", although she dislikes that term and would rather be known as a "Jack of all trades". She's a former teacher living in Torquay, and currently works five different jobs.
In addition to her own dog-grooming business, Toodles, Sam works as a private tutor, teaches crochet and sells patterns, works security for nightclubs and bars and works two 12-hour night shifts at a local arcade.
I'm not sure how well I would get on with having multiple part-time jobs: I rather like the stability of one full-time job!
I mean, sure, I can understand that this method has its advantages: it's more varied, and losing one job doesn't leave you completely screwed; however, it all sounds a little bit hectic for me...
