getting a job and stress
i am 21 and a uni student and i need to find a job so bad but i honestly do not know where to start. i cant work on site anywhere because in day time i have classes and night time my parents wont allow. i try finding remote work via linkedin and fiverr but that isnt looking too well, upwork needs connects and im too broke to risk buying them
i have experience, i made a pretty penny on upwork but i used to use my sisters account and it has been years (around 1.5) and now im completely jobless. all i get is working for call centres but i cant do that because i can’t work night shifts or leave my house.
i honestly cant help feeling so stressed and behind everyone else because all 22 year olds have some sort of income and i am completely reliant on my parents and alhumdulilah i live a good life but i need some sort of independence, to have the confidence that I am not totally useless.
is anyone else in the same position as me? also, does anyone have any advice for me on finding work (i am very willing to work, even for minimal pay)
