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

[Quidat]

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.

If the additional work doesn't take as much time as my primary job, then I would think of accepting it seriously. But there is another condition here also. The additional work should pay a good amount to convince me to do it. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to waste my time and deplete my energy. Because allocating as much time as possible to myself is also very important to me.

Sometimes we tend to forget that we are working too hard that we are already destroying our health. it should be our first priority and it's normal that everyone will look for an opportunity to increase their income, but let us not forget that we work to live, not live to work.

Well this is much normal especially if we want to give a better  life to our family for sure we will sacrifice our body just to earn money and live decent life which we can pay all our bills,debts or other personal needs. But we should remember that eventhough we have goals that's why we work hard still we still need to rest 1 whole day in a week so that we can recharge as well spend our quality time to our family so that we can get the stress and tiredness for the whole week of work.

My country's situation since the pandemic for almost 2 years has been very difficult, many companies have closed and laid off employees, I was also affected by Covid so I had to stop working, now I sell food in a shop in front of my house which is close to the market, maybe I have to be tired from selling food. when not a customer then I fill it with online. My current additional income is from crypto such as investing crypto and also being a bounty hunter.

Yes, if it's paying well and it's not going to burn me out and it's just a side hustle then probably I can do it. I mean, who doesn't need money, in this world where our wants and needs can be fulfilled by cash sometimes or most of the time, an extra money in your pocket won't hurt you that much.

having only 1 income can't meet the needs of our family every day...

my main job is online seller but since there are so many competitors my sales have dropped drastically, making extra money from this forum is the best thing for me. if I don't know bitcoin and this forum for sure I will try to make money very hard outside.

Extra work? Yes, that's what we need so far.

The pandemic continues to escalate in my area which is currently designated a Red Zone by the local government. Very unstable economic condition require us to have additional jobs where online is one of the choice. Actually I have a real job as one of the employees, it is a job that I can't leave. So far my trading and activity on forums has helped me financially during the pandemic although I never considered this a job. I'm also learning about YouTube where I'm still learning to edit and prepare content according to my interests, this seems like a good choice for me. I don't know when this pandemic will end, leaving many of us financially miserable if we don't have the skills to make money.
