Barely making $100 every 2 weeks

Well, I lost my contracting job on December 1st…I was only getting less than $300 per week, and trying to stay above water without going negative in my bank. I only had that gig for 8 months. And now, I am only working my side gig while trying to find something else. It pays $4 per chapter of ai written content (I write 150-200 words for the first part, and the ai writes the rest). It’s an okay gig, but being that I am actually an aspiring writer, I’m scared that this gig is going to be the death of my future as a writer (if I ever make it to that point). But the good news is, ai itself still has a lot of kinks to work out, and it loves to repeat certain words and phrases. So with that said, I will know the difference between an ai written book, and a book put out by an actual person. I just wish I could find a real job that’s not customer service, or contracting that gets rid of me for stupid reasons that don’t make sense…I just need something that I enjoy doing that pays well. This whole year has been a huge disappointment.

Really sorry to hear this. They say there are lots of jobs but I'm not seeing it. And they want young people so they can pay less. I hope things work out for you. 🤗

@Livingwell I got stuck in customer service for so long, that I missed my opportunity back then as a young person to get my foot in the door of a good opportunity, and work my way up.

@PoisonLace Have you considered being a receptionist in a dr office? Pays decently.

@Livingwell unfortunately working from home is the only option right now.

@PoisonLace I understand. So many changes in company policies, etc. And they want more of our personal time.
