My friend is in charge of a data finding company in England and has asked me to work for him. I'd get 6£ (about $10) an hour to get info requests (questions etc.) and send the person a response. (They email me via txt and then my email goes to them as a text).

I am bored senseless at work and thought this might be a lucrative way to ease the boredom. All it uses is a simple email webpage and me googling responses.

I'm torn tho, I have nothing better to do at school but it seems pretty immoral to get paid for extra work while I'm at work.

What do you guys think? Would it be fair or is it wrong?

If it doesn't interfere with your performance at your current job then I see no 'moral' problem with it.
Would there be any legal infractions (like work visa violations etc) involved?

I think if you don't take the opportunity you will regret it later. You have the time and it makes sense you maximise your working time. Leave the pounds in your bank account in England and when you head back there you will have a ready supply of real currency.

Telephone teaching is also another souce of extra income for the Public School Teachers out there. Wink
