Job Question

Got an interesting job question for ya fellows...

I work a 9-5 job, but I'm basically doing contract work on a salary. There are periods of time between contracts that I literally do nothing (haven't worked a minute this week). I am good at my job too, so when I do have a project I can get it done pretty quickly. I also work from home, so let's just say I have a lot of free time.

On the flipside I get no promotions or raises, and never will. Great job but I want career advancement. I've considered getting another real job and keeping this job simultaneously--I'm pretty confident I can juggle both. Is that unethical? I'm concerned about future jobs finding out I had overlapping jobs, and not hiring me because of it. I haven't done anything yet, so don't judge me...but I really don't want to take a new job that seems to be a career advancement, but in reality it turns out to be crap and I'm very regretful of leaving the comfortable job I have now.

Thoughts?
