I have to share this here because no one in real life finds it exciting but I do! I've been looking for a side job for ages and after too many fruitless hours applying, one falls into my lap!
A friend I used to work with got his PhD and is teaching at a local college, when his tutor/marker moved away he thought of me (he knows I've been looking for extra work and I have a masters in the area). I can do the work at night/weekends around my current job, and the pay is decent. Looks like it'll start fairly small (just grading for 1-2 classes a semester) but getting my foot in the door is a great way to pick up marking work for other courses, hopefully I'll add to this over time and build up a nice stash to go towards a deposit on an investment property! Yay! *happy dance*
