Considering a side hustle? You're not alone. A recent survey found that 93% of American workers have a second job. Before picking up a side gig, author Gorick Ng told CNBC that it's important to set expectations. If you want to learn new skills or find a way to express your creativity, then a side hustle might be just what you need. But if your only goal is to boost earnings, it might be a better use of your time to go after a promotion at work or search for a new full-time job with higher pay.
