Earning A Living....
Hello, looking for any and all serious suggestions/opinions, etc. Hopefully I can get some serious answers on here as I know we may dig the same music but our socio economic status/environments are all different. Like my father always used to say" no one owes you a living", which I think most/many would agree on..but do you find it almost back-braking? I mean, to make a decent living? Like I feel if I am going to work for your company, I don't think $30/hr starting is a crazy amount to expect to make per hour, but I also know many-or am I wrong?-businesses can't afford to pay that amount. I live in a major U.S. City and I don't need to tell you how inflation is kicking my ass as I presumably expect it is for you, too. Am I whiny? Is it complaining too much that: I don't come from money really, and no money to my name, I am 50, not physically strong enough to go into the trades, couldn't bartend or waiter to save my life, hate doing sales as most of the time it is all about basically making your numbers. So..am I the only one who really, for the most part doesn't like working? Maybe I'm lazy compared to some/many of you who I am sure bust their ass and have nothing but horror stories about your life and how much you work( which I would actually be interested in hearing about). So, am I the "bad" guy? I'd like to think I'm courteous and respectful to just about everybody, don't commit crime, and and don't have a family of my own-and not even a girlfriend or a wife on the horizon. All I see ahead is just pure existence and barely getting by. Anyone else in a similar position or in crazy debt so you can't really leave your job? Whew! Okay. Enough of my yammering.

You are paid based on how easily you can be replaced, not the difficulty of the job.
Not everybody is on MetalShit.com and Blabberface fuckin’ dot net! Who cares? There’s such a small amount of people that do that. - Blotz

You can start by learning to properly structure a sentence and a paragraph.
"You want Don Juan DeMarco, the world's greatest lover, to talk to you? What do you know of great love?"

I'd say do what you love and money will follow, however, I hear the going rate for BJ's is pretty low right at the moment. But don't worry, you'll be back in your knees before you know it.

Do NOT do this. You'll have so much money coming in, you'll have no choice to blow it on the ugliest, stupidest and most expensive Tshirts you can find.
Do what I do. Get a good work From Home job that pays decent, and then delegate all your shit to other employees and vendors, and then sit around and Sludge all day. it really is the best of both worlds.

You could do some sales courses or videos on YouTube or TikTok. Some of them make good money doing that. Your SIDE HUSTLE (which will trigger 5 people on this forum saying that).MattleyCrue wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 1:34 pmI sure am!Nate S Axel wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 1:30 pmAre you still #1 in your entire district?

You can help teach NeilC how to sell himself, and not as a whore (which is likely his only option right now). He wants $30+ an hour, but so would hundreds of other applicants. So far all he posted was why he wouldn't and shouldn't get it.
