People of a certain age may remember their mother, grandmother, or aunt spending countless hours sewing quilts, which remains a popular hobby. You might even be into quilting yourself, but did you ever imagine that you could turn that passion into a business that earns over $100,000 per month? 50-year-old Mike O'Dell, a nurse anesthetist from Oklahoma City, did exactly that, and he only works one day per month on his side hustle.
O'Dell's day job, which he does during his four-day, 10-hour work week, requires extremely high attention to detail. O'Dell told CNBC's "Make It" that his work as a nurse anesthetist is so intense that he can't even use the bathroom or take a lunch break without another employee to cover for him. This highly specialized work pays O'Dell $240,000 per year, but it also comes with a high-stress level.
