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?

Anyone that has a job should try and get more things at hand not just depending on a single job, maybe a salary job that could die off if another wave of covid-19 comes into play based on the recent complains we have being seeing and hearing on television on how covid-19 cases is increasing without a go measure to handle the spread.

Covid-19 had really showed us on how to double our quest to do more job hunting or investing in different field to reduce the risk of becoming broke if any pandemic eventually happens again or any factors that can affect our rate of survive during penury resurgence.

As long as that opportunity comes and it's all good to my working ethics and schedule, I would be glad to accept it. But there are those opportunities that have to be declined because it will make you feel that you're out of place and won't make you happy.
If that's the case, if you think that it will make you unhappy better not grab that opportunity and just let someone take it.

That's my only condition too, long as it doesn't interfere with my free time and I make money that's worth my time spending on that extra work, I would gladly accept, I mean who doesn't want to get paid more, it's actually good that we're going to make more money since this is a capitalist world we live in.

yes of course i took it.

We can see the current state of the world is uncertain, the economy is falling due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

But for now I do some additional work, such as; Become a freelance writer, photo and video editor and manage social media accounts.

And there should be no shame in doing it and admitting it. I have a few friends who actually do some small jobs and earn money but for some reason they feel so bad about it that they hide it from everyone else apart from the close ones.

I feel no work is small enough to feel ashamed about or bad enough to discard as long as you are comfortable enough to do it.

During the crisis, one thing I seriously learned is that one shall never rely on a single source of income. No matter how much you earn from that source, keep a keen eye on alternatives.

In this world, of course, we can get many opportunities in whatever situation is going on, as long as we are willing to try and keep moving.

The cryptocurrency, is an opportunity that is already feasible and its popularity is increasing, why not? Of course people who are more advanced will come here and some take this as an additional job.

Even though in my country it is not completely legal, but it still allows selling it to local currency, well.. there are still many things that can be done of course with the internet today, and there are many opportunities in cryptocurrencies such as being able to invest, trade, mine, work in campaigns, etc., this can still be done and of course it is still a driver of the financial/income side, even if only at home.

i'm lucky to have a fairly stable business and also generate quite a bit of crypto. Even here the conditions are quite difficult, everyone is struggling to live and trying to find a decent job, but those who are old have difficulty getting a job because many companies prefer fresh graduates. i think this condition has taught me a lot that investment is very important.

Investments & Savings, I would add.

I have gone through some of the worst times of my life in the last 2 years where I have seen families broken, young people suiciding and even some kids begging on roads for food. It was heart-wrenching and impossible to express in words. It has although made me very strong internally because I feel like I have seen the worst things in life and nothing can really go worst from here.

One must save money whenever and however they can. If you feel you have a safe job and good savings, think about it and save more. Save some more and again do the same. Bad times will take away all those savings like nothing and you won't even realize.

In my country, Venezuela, people do anything to survive as the informal economy: They sell food, confectionery, vegetables, fruits, eggs, chicken and meats, everything looks like a mobile market due to the economic crisis we are experiencing and of course the Covid19.

Also people are starting their own business like selling clothes, shoes, handbags, a variety of things. As well as the confectionery, barbershop and hairdresser.
In relation to the tourism sector, it is a source of income that has also been devastated by Covid19 as has happened in other countries.

Tourism is heading towards national parks such as Morrocoy, Los Roques Archipelago, Mochima, Canaima, which are the four great parks visited by tourists.

For my part, I do remote work doing social media marketing for a crypto platform.

It may vary for everyone based on their country and the kind of economy they live in. As for myself, I lost my job during the pandemic spread. It was more of a resign than being kicked from my job though. I was asked to do the same work I was doing earlier at insanely half the salary I used to get earlier. It was quite impossible for me because once you get a set salary you get habitual of spending it in a particular manner.

Thankfully I found another job and gladly enough, they provide me enough time such that I can do some creative things. I now work as a marketing manager for a few small brands locally which also generates decent revenue and all I need to do is guide the guys in the extra time.

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.

Well, if it's a side hustle, it's probably not going to take a long time to work on, probably it's around 2 or 3 hours so I don't think it's not as disruptive as it is. Only time I consider not taking a side job is if it takes a lot of time that it competes with my main job.

If you already have a main job then it will be better if you leave that job for someone who is totally jobless. In my country, many people are jobless in this situation. So in this situation, I won't take another side job if I already have one. We should sacrifice some opportunity sometimes to help others in their dire situation. Everyone has their own mindset so it was just my opinion not to offend anyone.

Our country is also in the middle of an economic crisis, a job crisis too. The number of unemployed resulted in many crimes. People in our country survive in their own way, still rarely rely on the internet to make money unless they know technology. Maybe most of them sell online. And a small number like us invest in the trading market looking for profit through crypto.

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.

- Online connection is only for office workers and the number of such fields is also very limited, besides, during the pandemic period, many companies' activities have been blocked, contracts cannot be discussed and as a result, there is no work for the staff below. Some freelancers like designing and coding for programming have the upper hand but projects are rare these days and not everyone can be a professional who can work independently and from home, it's good to have a job that can be done from home but unfortunately the salary has been cut by a large part and much support is needed no matter how much

At this time of the pandemic, employment is a big struggle in our country now that the economy is really at its bottom and many industries are also affected. I would not mind taking an additional work, which I am doing right now, because it is really a priceless shot to have employment opportunities and to actually be able to grab it at this time. My mantra in life right now is to grab every opportunity there is possible to make money and sustain my needs.

Now I think that the situation has become very difficult for many countries in the world, even those that were very prosperous, I think that the pandemic has unleashed all these kinds of problems where unemployment has been a great denominator.

Many people not only do 1 job, they do many jobs, they leave very early and arrive very late from just working, in the case of people who are from countries like Venezuela and go to the USA, they work in at least 3 jobs, most of them They are from washing bathrooms, washing dishes, cleaning, and they really do not care about physical fatigue, and what they earn is only to support themselves, pay rent, meals, among others.

The Standard Protocol - Solving Inflation

Well, in my country, there is really no tangible plan by the government to create jobs for the youths. This inevitably means that youths have to take it upon themselves to look for a way to make money and this means one has to, most of the time, work online or becomes an entrepreneur.
Personally, I prefer working online as this gives me enough time to do other relevant things necessary for my personal growth. I particularly participate in signature and bounty campaigns to help complement the income I make as a graphics and visual identity designer.

Right now, I am in a position where I cannot find time for doing anything else after my regular job and signature campaign. All my times are enough for my family life and for these two. I was in plan to join my friend's team who are all making decent money from stocks and forex trading but due to lack of time, I am just focusing on what suit me after my day job. I am comfortable to write in this forum in my free time which makes me unable to find more free time to do anything else.

Due to lack of time, I am also looking for passive income generation but so far I find nothing suitable for my investment category and risk assessment. If bitcoin reaches some big value then I may invest some money in real estate which will be acting like my passive investment for one-time good returns.

Just as I rely on signature campaigns to meet the needs of myself and my little family because I can take the time and prioritize it to do this job the best I can to stay afloat.
and I have a side job with my wife which has only been running for about two months, my wife bakes cakes or other food to sell packaged via online and when someone places an order I deliver the order and there is still a delivery charge.
during the pandemic we have to be creative in order to make money and I am grateful and also happy to live it.
