What are we doing for side jobs these days?
Lifelong astorian, finally becoming jaded after years of luck with work that’s finally ran out. I got into hospitality at the age of 21, and here I am approaching 25 sitting on indeed and zip recruiter for 3-5 hours a day. I have a bachelors in fine art, I knew I wasn’t going to make any money with it anyways, just avoiding shame from my immigrant family and got the degree in my passion because I’d at least get it. I’ve sold everything of value to me. I pick up odd jobs like doing coat check, ticket scanning, pet sitting, and home cleanings.
I know I’m far from alone in this struggle right now. But any other recommendations from neighbors on how they’re getting by would help. Especially if you’re a woman in the 23-30 age range.
I’ve been working since I was 16 and this is the worst job market I’ve experienced thus far and feel like there’s possibilities of it getting worse.
Edit: I’m also open to work! Need door staff for your ticketed event? I’m your gal! Need some photographs taken? I’m very well rounded in media and photography. Need a light home cleaning? I have happy customers that can vouch :)
