A steady source of income is a man's bottom line to support his family

[shinratensei_]

Having a stable job is our strong foundation against financial crisis. We might be earning higher than our permanent job but we should not leave our jobs for it because stability and assurance always provide a guarantee of a more secure future. We can have a side hustle but we should always have our job as a main source of income. Having a permanent job also enhances our skills and provides us with more experiences which we can use in the future as well.

honestly, saving up and having emergency money more important than just having main job, the truth is, when the economic crisis hits, lays off are rampant, therefore you could be one of them that gonna lost a job, even if it's supposed to be main job, having side hustle could helps and having emergency money helps more.
I think so many are underestimating the chance of them losing their job, company always seek such chance for the sake of efficiency, their hiring spree is gone, now is the time for most of the company to increase their efficiency through reducing their employees.

Just recently my wife also had the same dilemma. She wants to have a job, the same thing she had before, even if it's low paying as long as the incentives are correct. But to her surprise, most of the jobs that she was interviewed was all offering salaries from sales. Marketing usually. I didn't like the idea and I told her it might become a difficult job as she will have to be as delightful as possible while offering whatever the item is.
It's a stressful job and I don't want to see her acting all stressed inside the house although she said it's going to be a work from home basis.
I told her to just keep on looking, we are in better days now with the pandemic gone and we are almost back to the normal ways with people not wearing mask and businesses opening again. She will find it for sure and I believe your friend too.

Thanks for sharing your wife's story. I agree with you that she does not have to rush for any job as sales job is not suitable for everyone. A lot of people can not take these jobs because they are introvert, not willing to talk to others or simply don't like to be paid by sales performance. My friend's situation was not that simple you may think, the job position was actually a designer, nothing related to sales. Due to the pandemic, a lot of business owners try to reap off and cheat the job seekers so they claim the offer to be non-sales but when you come to interview, they say that apart from the fixed work, any job takers must go out for sales. I would do the same to refuse the offer as my friend. Anyway, luckily a few days after I posted the thread, my friend landed on a non-sales job with a fairly good salary. I am happy for him. The same luck goes to your wife. Cheers !

There are reasons why people declining that kind of job post, just like what you said there are some who are introvert who's not comfortable to talk and without that skills sales is not appropriate with that person, I see the value of having your own decision making and trusting your skills, you can decline the position and try your luck in finding what kind of specialty you can offer, though always depends from a situation and always on the side of the person to decide whether to proceed or to go to other way and not to accept the offer.

Good news, it's nice to know that your friend has a job so he can take care of the family as well as the opportunity to accumulate the money needed for his wife's surgery. But if in case he still can't find a suitable job, then I think he should accept any job as long as it can provide temporary income for his family. Because of the current economic crisis, it is tough to apply for a job, so we should not be too picky. Many people are still unemployed, so getting a job at this point, we should cherish it.

[Outhue]

I bet he has other options left that's why he was able to decline the job proposal, it is very easy to make such a decision when you are all alone with no families, but once you have a responsibility it is impossible to be without any job, I believe he said no to the job comfortably because he has other means, if not, he will put his family in a very uncomfortable zone.

The advice I have for him is to manage whatever job he can find right now, not because of himself but that of his family, as time goes on he should keep looking for better job, also, he should not rely on jobs because the company might decide to stop all employees any time.

[Vaculin]

Or better yet, have multiple income streams. Just so you have a backup if you get fired from your job or your main income goes bust.

If you can do that, your life will be more manageable and safer. But of course, you have to gain and hone your skills for these, so you will be accepted from side hustle companies. That way, you know you have an edge over the others. And you can secure the future of your family because you have enough funds to save aside from saving for emergency funds.

It is such a sad situation to learn that some people are having hard time staying alive, or even worse, keeping their loved ones alive just because they are lacking money when there are so many people around the world who has billions of dollars. I can't believe that people would not realize that it is a problem and not end up doing something.

We need to figure out how to elect officials who would work for us, and not work thanks to us. All these politicians are working as our representatives but they represent only the rich, and that is our main problem. If we can somehow figure out a way where government protects us from these situations, that would be a lot better.

I believe it was all complicated piece to solve mainly because poverty isn't that simple, it's not like the country usually have the money to always helps reducing the poverty because right now we are also in crisis.
even though I agree that corruption could bring disaster and poverty, but it's always human nature that tend to be corrupts, I'd say fix the system by giving more chance for someone in building their success through their hard work then we'd see people who are willing to make money for the sake of their loved ones thrive. I'd say every individual have their own characteristics and their productivity isn't equal so we should reward more to the ones that contributes more by giving chance.

 My friend was not willing to take any of them because he has a family to feed and his wife's condition is unstable which could need a lot of money for surgery at any time. I understand him and am trying my best to help him find a high-pay job.

If you have any advice for my friend, please let me know. Thank you.

I will only underline this part.
Why doesn't your friend take one of these jobs? He told you that he needed money for his wife's medical expenses, but the small salary was not taken? He doesn't want to work just because his salary is low even though he really needs money, or does he still have a lot of savings so he is not worried if he has to be unemployed for months? it should be clear first.

My advice is to do any job with any salary if your situation already has a wife, especially if you have children. Because their food needs cannot be pending or wait for you to have a high-pay job. Eat today, then must eat today too.

Even though he still has a lot of savings for him to use for his wife's medical expenses and also to make ends meet, if he continues to rely on that money it will run out sooner or later. After all he must have income regardless of how big or small the income he receives. If you choose too many jobs with big salaries, it will be very difficult to get them. Everyone also wants a big salary, but how long should you wait without any income? So I think it's better to accept a job even with a small salary.

Do we have the right to vote? I believe everything is in order and the government is not the last force to run the country. Nobody wants greedy, stupid people to run the country, but as you can see, most politicians and leaders are greedy when they run the country. We do not have the power to choose who will be our president or who will be our manager.

The economy is still recovering, which is why there are still a lot of people unemployed, and there are also tons of people from the pandemic who lost jobs and are finding work. Most of the people right now who are finding a job don't pursue their careers; they want to be hired no matter what the job is, as the labor market right now is very difficult and all of us need money. It is a wise choice to stay at your current job so that it can help you with the medications, but at the same time, find a job that has a higher salary before resigning.

Nobody wants greedy, stupid people to run the country, but as you can see, most politicians and leaders are greedy when they run the country. We do not have the power to choose who will be our president or who will be our manager.

In general elections held by the state to elect the president and other officials who will work within the state, all citizens have the right to vote based on their own conscience without any element of coercion or threats to vote for the person specified. Because whether or not the compact power of citizens or the people in a country will be seen when general elections are held and run in a country.

So this really depends on the votes of the majority of the people and where the people vote even though greed could arise after they are elected by their own people, but basically everyone certainly chooses based on good criteria and also not greedy in appearance. Because if greed is based on intentions in one's heart, it won't be known at all at first, but it will be known in the end or after they are elected as an important person in their country.

 If you have any advice for my friend, please let me know. Thank you.

I would advice your friend to go to any  financial institution to take a long term payback loan or any friend who can lend him some money to start up a business to help him stand back on his feet. After he starts the business he can as well apply for job just to have another source of income. This was exactly what happend to me. When i lost my job as a manager in a logistics company which was my only source of income, i immediately took a loan and with the little savings i had to start up a business. And it really worked for me. I would advice your friend to do so too.

Corruption will start when the person was elected to his office, yup i won't be detected right away but when everything is in place that will be the time that it will be executed, I just wanted to add my view about it as the after effect f everything will also impact to how people from that place will suffer, steady income with corrupt officials can result to high value of taxes everything is connected and yes, it's a life support that will allow anyone to survive.

this is only good if his friend has a business inclination and based from his story, his friend got bankrupt with his business. because setting up even a small business depends on the person himself. some people  stay to be an employee for the rest of their lives, whereas, some can handle themselves owning a business.
for now, since he has immediate need of money, better not be choosy with the jobs available in his area. even it is a low-paying job with less benefits. grab it as he badly needs money. while doing such job, he can always look for a better one.

I know all of that, but what I don't believe is that whether the votes are counted or not, the outcome will not change. I mean everything is arranged, elections are just a way for the people to believe in their citizenship, behind that everything is pre-planned, appointing who should be the president. Politics is the dirtiest and darkest place in the world, I don't believe what we're seeing because they want us to see it.

But what will assure you that the business will definitely succeed and generate profits, business is no different from investment, all of which contain risks. He should get a paying job rather than continue to borrow for business or investment. He should have a job first and then consider taking out a business loan, if his business makes a loss, he can also pay the debt with the income from the job.

[Renampun]

...
My friend's story sends me a signal: no matter how much I earn right now, try to keep my job and souce of income stable. I am also a family man and have responsibilities.

It doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman, once you are married you both have an obligation to keep your family's finances in balance. I'm married and I'm lucky I don't have a patriarchal partner so I can make money. no one can predict the future, collecting as much money as possible from now on is the best way to be financially secure in the future.

Anything bad can also happen to me so I have to be prepared to the unforseen problems, although I am doing fine now. Make hay while the sun shines. If you have any advice for my friend, please let me know. Thank you.

I don't have any good advice for your friends (when it's hard to get a job that pays enough money in your country), hopefully, some miracle will appear in their family, and if you have a little extra money, give them a little will help a lot.
