I’m hitting 6 months of unemployment and funds are running dry. My journey into becoming a Stock Marxist is going… ok I guess? I’m learning a lot and know so much more than I did in December, but the money isn’t there to prove it.

So I’m looking for something to do that will not make me go insane. I had a temp job that ended in November, and before that I was working in a Software Dev role that caused my autistic self a lot of grief. My mind was in a dark place. It still is kind of there TBH.

I don’t want to get back into software. The tech changes too much, the frameworks methodolies and endless meetings are frustrating, AND because everyone was told to “learn to code” I have close to 0% shot my resume gets picked out of a pile of 1000s of other applicants. I’ve been branching out into more data analysis/database type work and there’s an AI tool I’m paying for to automate applying. I know it’s not what I’m supposed to do, but I also know spending all day filling out job apps is not where I want to be either.

What other options are out there? Things I’m considering:

Rover (pet sitting)

Data Annotation (AI training)

Flipping things I can find for free or at thrift stores?

Fiverr? Help people with their WordPress sites or something…

IDK, any other ideas?
