I have not had any serious or repeat clients yet, but anything electronics repair or modifications is what I am trying to get working. Added a shunt resistor on a bunch of video cards for a guy and took in $1k for a few hours work.

Hats off,more power to you..

Not is this situation thankfully but if ever it comes to that I think I'd probably look into freelance writing or editing gigs. Writing has always been a passion of mine, and it's something I can do on my own time and from anywhere. Plus, it's a great way to flex those creative muscles and maybe even make a little extra cash on the side.

It’s great to have a gig as a fall back plan,been hearing a lot about chatgpt’s impact to writers and a variety of different fields and white collar knowledge works,interesting times ahead..

In home care giving. Most companies will train you and you can get shifts just about anytime of the day or night.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
