Make your side hustle work
Associate Professor of Management and Entrepreneurship Jennifer Nahrgang and her colleagues recently set out to understand the benefits and challenges of balancing a day job while moonlighting. Their research reveals numerous ways in which full-time workers can best craft and choose a side hustle, build it up, and balance it with full-time work and other demands.
