[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would absolutely get an outside job -- but I am prohibited by ethics rules from getting an outside job that relates to my federal job (practicing law), and no temp job outside what I do is going to make up for the lost income.  [b]So what is my option?[/b]  This is not like when someone is laid off and immediately can go seek another full time job.  We do not know when the furlough will end, and prospective employers seeking to hire someone long term know this.

In any event, I am being designated as essential and going back next week, and will have to work without being paid.  How am I supposed to get a full time job while I am working a full time job?[/quote]
You would do what so many low wage workers in the US do - you'd take ANY job in order to bring in income. And yes, people do that after working a full-time job during the day.

This narrow minded focus of if I can’t make my 100k salary I just can’t do anything is why you get snotty posts like the PP who said all Feds should have savings. [/quote]

A furloughed Fed attorney is not an attractive candidate for area businesses. It’s not worth the training to bring PP on board, knowing it’s temporary. Not to mention that area businesses probably are ramping down after seasonal hiring and fewer foot traffic from Feds.[/quote]
