I'm bored at home. I work a 7:30am-4pm job, and I was thinking about maybe getting a
5pm-9pm or 10pm type job at the local mall or something.
I literally have nothing to do from 4pm until I go to sleep. I have no friends, no hobbies.
Is it hard working two jobs?

I did that last summer.
I worked 8-4 and then 5-10 M-F and then 9-5:30 and 9:30-6 on the weekends.

Honestly,
it was horrible, life is alot more fulfilling if you spend that time with friends.
Life becomes swallowed by work AND you will wish for the times where you could just sit around especially if you get into retail.

Find some friends.

yeah i was thinking about getting a second job just for extra cash, then after seeing one of my friends do it, i immediately canceled that idea out. Work will kill you! Unless you can find a totally non-streesful job.

I work my 9 - 5:30 job then I play WoW from 6:30 until midnight. I've been in a raiding guild for the last few months and it pretty much feels like a second job these days. When we were just doing MC and ZG it was a lot of fun, but when we started doing BWL, the GM had a bright idea that we should raid 6 days per week. We killed Nef, so I was expecting some sort of a break or a reduction in the number of days we raid per week, but now the GM wants to do AQ40. I liked raiding 2 or 3 days per week, but 6 days per week sucks. Five of my friends from outside of WoW play on the same Realm as I do in WoW. One of them just recently started raiding with me, which has been keeping things a bit more interesting.

Well I have no money. No money=No hobbies. No Money=No friends.
I know that extra job means=no time=more money=no hobbies and no friends, but it's better than sitting around and hating my life.

This is about as off topic as you can get. Way to relate doing nothing, which he said he does now, to getting a job.

How does THAT work? I don't know what kind of friends you are talking about, but mine have never demanded payment to hang out.

I did it last Summer, I mainly did it to pay for school. It wasn't easy. Fortunately, my day job provided me with some relaxing time and some fun. The night job was ok but it was a lot of grunt work. Nonetheless, I did make good money in one Summer. But it is true what one of the posters mentioned above, you do get sucked into working. You don't even realize it until it's over, I worked two jobs since I got out of school unti the end of the summer. I was invited twice to go to the beach by my friends and I turned them down because I felt like I had to work. It also tires you mentally (it doesn't matter what type of job it is, it always does). Once I started school again, it wasn't until halfway through the semester that I realized that I was making stupid errors in exams, not being able to concentrate and not even realizing it. When I figured out that it was because I was tired, I decided to relax. Started working less and going out more often and my grades went up again. I was planning in doing it this summer again, but something unexpected (and better ) came along so I will no be doing it again.

GL in whatever you decide.

edit: Now that I am reading your posts, I 'd say that it wouldn't be a good idea for you to get a second job. You need a high level of motivation to do it, a goal that you want to achieve (in my case it was to pay for college so I wouldn't have to work hard when I am in school). What you need to do is work in your self-esteem, then you need to set a goal for you. Friends can be the best thing that one person has, but how can you expect everyone else to like you when you don't like yourself?. I'd recommend you to start working out, going out to run in the mornings. Try to figure out what you want to do with your life and then work from there.

Perhaps you have higher quality friends than I used to have. The things we did were social. Food, coffee, drinks, movies, etc..etc..
No one has ever wanted to just hang out with me.

I got an idea...find a girl who's willing to pay for everything and you can have fun with her too!

You're kind of depressing me dude. You need to perk up. I don't think a second job is best for you after all.

I have a few actually.

I work in an office 8:30-5.
Being sexy is a 24 hour/day job
Pleasing the lady folk is my weekend job.
Sitting in my closet hugging myself so tightly that i feel as though I might implode, which is a good thing because then maybe I would stop sobbing when I think of how miserable I am, that's like a 4 hour a day job

I'm an American, so I work 3 jobs! The President told me that it was uniquely American and a testament to how hard we have to work.

Yeah, I've worked 2 jobs before. The only real issue is scheduling...just make sure you have enough travel & down time and you're fine. Also make sure the hours are fairly set, so that you can get to your second job on time.
