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 believe that the situation in the world is more or less similar in terms of work and making money. In larger countries, the situation may be a little better, but in general, many people, especially young people, need a good job, or at least additional work. Personally, I previously worked in different jobs and eventually switched to remote work. To some extent, this is better than I had before, but as before, there is no stability. In simple words, if you want to make money all the time, you need to work hard. In general, nothing has changed, but new opportunities have appeared for me and I am now using them.
