Stop fucking crying. Go get a job if you can't do anything else besides submitting galleries.  |
There is plenty I can do, but even at $30-$40 an hour you're not going to be making any real money in Canada and all your time is gone so you won't really be able to work on anything else. A full time 9-5 job would only allow me to negligibly upgrade my lifestyle but completely consume all of my time. A $40 an hour job in Canada is only $25, or less, USD an hour, and on top of that you'll be taxed up the ass, so that $40 an hour becomes like $200-$220 a day Canadian, fast. Then you're spending 1 hour probably commuting each way and probably at least $10 in gas per day...
Like I said earlier, it is better to be poor but creating, than be the working poor and not creating.
Sold a snow tire to my neighbour yesterday so I got money for food... doing firewood deliveries this week with a buddy for some rent money too. At least these gig jobs pay like $50 cash for like an hour worth of work and I can do them to cover the basics without having to commit to a 9-5 which steals all of your time and mental energies.
Before COVID, I was doing caregiving for disabled seniors and working towards getting a bigger vehicle. A 20 passenger bus was like $10,000 in decent shape, and I was looking into making arrangements to drive more seniors around and take them places. My boss, a lady who was retiring from respite work, estimated I could've made like $5000 a weekend driving seniors around to their stops and taking them out to the park and such because lots of families are willing to pay for their seniors to get out of the care homes or house for the day. If you just had 10 passengers for 4 hours going to the park for an ice cream and to walk around in the sun, you can make like $15 per hour per senior, x4 hours, x10 seniors, and do that twice a day on the weekends. $1200 in 8 hours minus gas... Then usually at least a half dozen families want their senior to go spend a weekend at an AirBNB (that they pay for) so you can take their senior to some events or a movie or something to keep them entertained, and then you get the $150 overnight fee per senior as well, plus $15 an hour per senior as your very base rate, where a lot of people are paying like $50 an hour for premium respite work. Caring for the olds is big business and some people pay out the ass for Grandma to have the best care. There was a dentist lady who paid $500 a day for just her brother to get the best care, as both his knees were fucked and he walked at like 1 kilometer per hour, but he loved to walk around parks and bird watch. I made good money taking him for coffees at the Nanaimo waterfront and helping him operate his camera to get photos of seagulls.
Of course, refusing the clot shot killed that path!
