A few of my friends are struggling to get a job. They are in their mid-lives and the country they live in is particularly difficult to find a job at a certain age. Also, when some recovery was being noticed after the 2008 - 2012 crisis, COVID struck hard on an economy with a strong tourism sector. Meanwhile, I made some choices that landed me an stable and reasonably paid job that also leaves enough time to do other stuff that generates income or reduces my costs if I wish to do so.
What is the situation in your country and for yourself? Would you be able to land additional work for example working with crypto, selling stuff on-line, youtubing or something else?
I would definitely take up another job. In the country I reside in, the economy is failing, unemployment is worse than ever before, employees are at the mercy of their employers. Those who got jobs endure the working because in the blink of an eye they can be laid off for not just cause be replaced by another person. They literally work to live because that's all they got. Those who have skills are at an advantage because they can do two or three jobs and get to decide how, when and where they want to work.
Thats why its really important for you to be that versatile or learning up multiple skills at once because it is some sort of back up if your been fired or laid off on a job on where you could at least see
yourself to have some chance in terms of qualifications due to the skills you do possess which would really be an advantage into someone who does have several skills compared into having one.
It is really hard to have some income nowadays.Lots had lost their jobs and we do need to find another source of income for us to survive.Sad reality that people who do have the skills
will really mostly benefit out.
