I heard a report on the news this morning. They were interviewing a guy who was boarding up a business in the city. Turned out it wasn't his business. He runs a building maintenance company and was hired to board up this place. He said that his business has essentially been shut down for a couple of months due to COVID but since the rioting started his phone has been ringing non-stop. He's got 40 jobs lined up today and has done many others over the past 3 days. He said it's the busiest his company has ever been.
This really illustrates that even in the worst of times, there are ways to make a buck if you have the drive and know how. You can almost always find a way to put your skill sets to use even if it's doing something completely different than your normal job or career.
One of my techs at worked mentioned recently that she keeps getting job offers from places who now need people to do temperature screenings at their business. And they're paying pretty decently, like $20/hr or more. I told her to let me know if she sees any listings relatively close to us as my daughter might be interested. My daughter has zero medical training but the job consists solely of pointing an infrared thermometer at the foreheads of customers and employees to check their temp. She can handle that. So there's a job paying way over minimum wage that didn't even exist a couple of months ago.
If you're out of work, or just looking to boost your income, cast a wide net. There are all kinds of opportunities out there.
