I loved cars so I got a job at an auto auction house. Paid off huge because I eventually got my l license to buy and sell cars at auction. Over the first ten (10) years of my career, I had 12 cars that I bought restored or did upkeep and resold at auction making killer profits!

Back when I was enlisted many moons ago and needed extra cash I worked as a security guard at night through a security staffing agency. I got paid more per hour doing that than my Navy pay at the time.

They always sent The Newbies to me.
I would just share the basics:
1) busy guys aren't targeted for busy work.
2) everything is a hidden / learning opportunity find that advantage!
3) work BEFORE play.

It’s different in the Coast Guard than it is in other branches. I’m on a waiting list to go to an A-school, which is how we advance to E4 and when we pick our specialization. Some of the A-schools have a shorter wait time, But there’s nothing I can do to make it move faster, it’s either wait the time or pick a job you don’t want to do and get stuck in that to move up to E4 faster

My wife and I cleaned houses for other service members in order to pass their base housing move out inspections. Pay was good, but back breaking work. I'd probably do the Uber/Lyft thing, now. Good luck.

That answer is going to depend on your skills and education that you have, your location either CONUS or OCONUS, your command and the job opportunities there.
You could would for AAFES (BX) or the Commissary. You could work for MWR on post, a store or stores off post.
Back in the day I worked for Bike Tech, AAFES and MWR.
A lot of jobs are going to depend on what your MOS hours and days are.
