I am a mechanical engineer that has a decent amount of free time both at work, and at home. I get paid well at my main job, so I have startup cash for any ventures.

What can I do that earns me side income? I am young, able bodied, and have my BS in ME. Should I seriously pick up programming as a source of side revenue?

Yes, total comp is around 120k, 5 years post degree. Garbage compared to CS/SWE though.

I should mention I can do OT at my main job sometimes at $70/hr, should I just do that instead?

It depends on a few factors. Do you value your time? If so it could be fine to just keep to safe investments like blue-chips or something. Use your time to keep growing and learning new skills.

But that's just my two cents.
