Would you be able to take an additional work if required?

[Coyster]

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?

My country is in a pretty bad state to say the least, there is a very high rate of unemployment over here and then if one is lucky enough to find a job, then they are either underpayed or they are not payed at all, cause salaries are always being owed over here resulting in numerous strike actions, people would not mind to do an extra job over here, but they hardly have the time, establishments use their workers till there is nothing left in them, making it almost impossible for them to find an extra source of income.

Having said that, citizens of my country are fascinated with additional ways of making an extra income especially when it comes to something they can do online, crypto is a really "hot" subject over here and I'm elated quite a lot of the young population are interested in it, our government is very corrupt, thus the citizens are more or less left to solve many problems themselves that's why crypto being a decentralized network is popular here.

In my country there are numerous job options, you just have to be good at least at something. I’ve never had a problem with finding a job, only the opposite. At a certain time I got too many job and collaboration offers and they all seemed interesting, so I took the offered opportunities and have been working at as many as 4 jobs simultaneously!! Of course, I was exhausted, so eventually, I sticked only with the 2 most preferable options.

I don’t know how can it be a problem to find a job and I’m from a developing country, I hardly think in many countries the situation is different. An interesting job - yes, might be a problem. Well paid - also have to search well. But any job - knock yourself out. I often found that people who say “I can’t find a job” don’t really have a problem like that. By these words they mean (but don’t say out loud) “I want a job where I wouldn’t have to work a lot and at the same time I’d get a high salary”. Well, that might be a problem.

I’m not saying that’s always the case, but from my experience, that’s pretty common.

Not really, even if it pays good. I mean, I would do it for a while, but I know I would end up quitting soon because I get burned out very easily. Already have a shit tons of stuffs going on. Wouldn't want more.
You should tell your friends to try doing something. Maybe sell their skills or services online? There are various platforms where you can do that. If they are good, I am sure they will get hired.

Not really. I have got a job and I think I could say I have two side hustles by playing poker and by writing here for signature campains. Apart from that I have to live.

To get a second job would mean to have absolutely no time for me and/or have to give up side hustles, which I would only do if I was very well paid because poker and writing here do not pay me as if it were a second full-time job but I do those activities comfortably from my computer, and with freedom of schedule. I can write/play poker more or less depending on how I am feeling, if I have a more busy social life that week etc.

Yeah.. playing poker isn't a job unless you are some kind of a professional poker player... but will it still be considered as a job even if you are one? Maybe it is, maybe it is not. Got to see if they get paid for playing lol. Better to consider poker as a form of entertainment though.

In my country, people are working for so many hours. It is more than the normal weekly working hours (like 40 hours in a week). Of course, not all people are working for this many hours but there are too many people like this. Because more than 40% of the people in my country work with minimum wage. And employers act like they are slaves of them. They want them to work for inhuman hours and they don't even want to pay their overtime wage.

This is really sad and I hope that it will change someday and my country will become one of the developed countries.

What you say happens a lot in third world countries where the majority of the population has very little income. Therefore they have to work hard
to be able to make more money, usually by increasing their working hours. This only makes people look like slaves to big companies, which are
owners of big companies whose lives are getting more prosperous. I also live in a Southeast Asian country which is indeed a third world country,
but I refuse to work for a company. Because the income I get, does not match the hours I work. I prefer to sell goods online, in various market places
in my country.

This is totally the saddest part of human lives where we need to grind more to earn more money and have a decent life but don't take to much stress on your work since you need to treat yourself sometimes to ease the stress and still became healthy eventhough we have lots of time burned on weekdays. But also actually we can get out on modern day slavery if we work hard and find better solution there are so many options available in the world and its up for us on which of them we will gonna pick up or if we will make a move to try and test those possible options.

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.

In my country the job opportunities are many, the bad thing is the payment, because they offer you a little more than 4USD, but with arrangements and if you are lucky they can give you a little more combining it with benefits such as 1/4 of markets or something for the style. The people that are emerging is because they have previously made investments in traditional businesses, be they medicine or food.

For some, the youngest get a good investment to play in AXIE, Tibia, among other games, university professionals do not find it useful to study, because there are no well-paid jobs, those who play can dedicate themselves to other things, such as having a business, or do anything that generates money, business in my country is a swing, it is the one that takes the best opportunity to take advantage of it and while it is possible.

[imstillthebest]

what could be the job that you are in right now ? you can teach your friends about it if you care for them .
 it wasnt only your friends that are strugling to get a job but majority of the population are experiencing the same , thats because of covid 19  .
 for now it can be easier to find a carreer online more than offline and working online is made more possible because of cryptocurrencies or blockchains  .

That has also been the case in my country, getting a job has been a really difficult thing. Even fresh graduates no longer put hope in their certificates, once they graduate most of them look forward to starting their businesses and not waiting for the government to give them jobs, and while most of them who have no ideas on how they will start a business ends up in a pretty condition.

And just like you have pointed, the coronavirus pandemic made everything worse, it seemed like it turned the country upside down, a country that was already trying hard not to fall. A lot of people lost their jobs because of this, so imagine how bad this is.

[Reid]

First of all, thanks for asking. Not everyone does this kind of idea to ask other people how they are doing or what their situation is.
It's really bad. Thankfully, I also have the skills to make some money online in a legal way and then there are savings.
My only problem is I don't want to take anything from those savings which are in Bitcoin and Ethereum. I want it to rot for the future.
Now, I am seeking other ideas to make more money. I have a lot of spare time but just cannot find what I want to do for that excess time.

I guess I am still one of the lucky individuals but I also feel for those who don't.
We just don't have the capability or enough resources to help them which is the sad part.

[Leviathan.007]

I believe everyone needs another job aside from investing and trading. Investing can bring a high amount of profits but still having a stable income aside from investing can help you mentally to make sure if you will get N dollars per month and this will help you to do not have any stress about incomes, taxes, bills, rents, and food prices. If you ask me I would say that I do have another remote job paying me good per month to pay the bills and that's why I won't have any problem even if I get nothing from investing.

[Sterbens]

But yes, if I needed another job right now I'm sure I could find something easily.  Right now in the US, I think most people would rather stay home and collect government money than work for a living, which means that job vacancies are in abundance.

Something very different is happening in my country and it is very sad. There is no work to be done and the only option for ordinary people in rural areas is agriculture.

Well, my goodness in our country it is still very difficult to find a job, in addition after the pandemic, of course, the solution is easy to solve. There is a reduction in the workforce because companies do not want to hire them with large expenses during a pandemic where factories operate less than foreign parties.

The existence of technology, crypto trading, being an online shop seller, and various other investments may help young people, but not for those who are over 50 years old, they are more into the daily trading sector. The lack of attention from the government that provides comprehensive assistance makes us more unstable in controlling the macroeconomy.

Finally, those who are clueless will find it very difficult to control the situation after the pandemic.

the situation in my country is very stressful and the city center has a pretty high death rate, they completely ban people from the streets and now there are a lot of unemployed people including me, but I got a job plow online games to earn money like axie. extra income in addition I also became a youtuber, currently my income is quite stable, how about you?

If I am able to yes, extra money in this world made by the capitalist is always a weelcome thing for me, better not starve to death or you end up with nothing in the end because you don't want extra work even if you're available. I love making money, all the things that I've bought is a symbol that I am grateful that I am making money.

In this condition people will do everything that they can to keep survived. For now i am doing my main job and online transportation driver, in other side i can't leave my main job because for now it is really hard to get a job. Almost everyone are almost in same condition and like what i said first, maybe a lot of people will said they will take additional work if required.

You will get additional work, as long as you look for it seriously, like being in this forum is not just discussing. At least some income can be obtained from it. So you have extra money when the economic conditions are unstable in every country. Then your other income is working as a transportation driver, that's very cool, even though there are still passenger limits which are currently a new rule to prevent virus transmission. Even though it is detrimental to the driver, for the safety of all parties you can definitely solve it.

[ILuckyGuyI]

At this point, the most important part is how much free time you have after the work. If it is not much, then there is no way that I can do an additional job. Otherwise, it depends on the money I'm going to earn while doing the additional work. If it isn't worth it, then there is no point in just consuming ourselves to earn just a little more.

It is not really about the nation you are living in, it is about the skills you have. There are some coders in the world who are working freelance on many many different projects at the same time and making a great amount of money as well.

I would understand that it would be quite impossible for many people to do that because we lack the skills, but for example I could technically find other jobs to do as a freelancer myself (writer), however I just do not have the time for it so I do not even look for them, I am barely keeping up with the current work let alone get another one, but technically speaking for someone else it is possible to find 3-4 different jobs. So what this means is, in this day and age, do not learn a skill that can't be turn into digital work, it just doesn't make sense at all. Find a job where you can do remotely from your PC and get real good at it and build a great resume and portfolio to show others and get jobs.

With the digital age right now, all jobs will always be connected online so if we have skills that are in demand online, i think we should grab it by now. The pandemic will still continue so if possible, we should learn multi tasking so we can also generate profits from a lot of sources.

I think landing in 3-4 jobs will only be possible if you have enough time to do them and you have all the good resources needed to make your job be profitable. If not, better focus on the one that gives you stable income that can cater to all your family's needs.

[Ziskinberg]

We have to face the real situation that this pandemic makes people become hungry to find a good job that is why some professionals just drop their pride and take any vacant job just for the sake to have income. If we can find an extra job that was a great opportunity for you, many are still hopeless to get one and you have a chance already if that only I can carry it over and perform the task well, I should not hesitate to take it.
We need to be practical this time and we don't need to be chossy otherwise, we live nothing or to live on the sidewalk asking something.

Most countries right faced such struggles because of pandemic, also for my country the situation didn't went well due to health crisis. Taking an additional work related to cryptocurrency is a great alternative in order to begin a new journey of life. Right now I am looking forward to submit an early retirement on my current job, then proceed to cryptocurrency future plans. I am planning to focus with it, most specially there's a freedom to choose that leads us to our comfort zone.
