>be me>poorfag childhood, escape via film degree because “passion”>work restaurants through school, end up cooking for years>stick with it, reach fine dining tier, help friend open his dream spot>find out chefs are overworked slaves and restaurants print negative money>pivot to film postproduction in LA>industry implodes, layoffs everywhere, get the axe>turn 29 next month, broke, unemployed, renting in LA, UI keeping me alive>want to teach English abroad and say fuck the money>also willing to do literally any remote job $20/hr+, but all “entry level” jobs want 5 years experience in Excel sorceryWhat do I do now, bros? Take the ESL pill and see the world, living open ended, or grind my way into something? I'm so lost on paper, but it's all I've ever known.

that's rough bro. i'm also in LA and 29, i'll buy you a beer.as for what i would do if i were you, i would find the highest paying job i can get somewhere with the lowest cost of living, and i would buy chainlink. that's just me tho, i've already done enough traveling to not feel the burning urge for more right now. you can also just lie about your experience if you're willing to learn very quickly when you need to. but remote jobs are very competitive and you're competing with a geographically-diverse pool of applicantscan you go back to fine dining? you'd know better than me but can't you make good money there? if you treat it as a profession and not as a source of funds for weed. might buy you the time to figure out what you really want to do. but yeah the film industry is tight right now and i don't see it getting any better. best of luck
>>60898255Nice larp faggot your first mistake is that you are looking for advice in the 4channels of all places. Just do a 2 week course on excel from youtube and lie that you have experience as (((project manager))) or (((business analyzator))) or any other bullshit job and get your life togetherAlso - undercut yourself during salary negotiation. When I say undercut, really undercut. Spend 6-12 months, gain their trust, make yourself irreplaceable in some way (either by learning something about the job that nobody wants to do/knows how to do) and then start asking for salary increases
28, film, Colorado. Local TV paid so poorly, I moved in to a van. Quit TV. Pivoted to the RV industry.Now I freelance video gigs on the weekend and work in a factory on the weekdays. And I live in a van. I got a full ride to college too. Video production was a legitimate middle class career when I was 18. My counselors, teachers, professors, instructors, they didn't trick me or lie to me. But now at 28, video is incredibly difficult to live on alone.Whatever artist I was 8 years ago, he is hibernating. Maybe he's comatose observing my life and learning. Not sure if or when my artistic side will thaw again... it may be a long time.
Coulda worked manufacturing that entire time for $20 an hour wih Healthcare, vision, dental, 3 weeks off, holidays off, 1 week of unpaid shutdown and a couple of "fuck it just take the whole 2 weeks around Christmas and new years off"s.
>>60898276If I can find remote work, I'll just move somewhere cheaper and rock it out for awhile>>60898623Lying about my experience is probably my best bet at this point. I could go back to cooking anytime, but it's very high stress and wild workload for the pay. It does not pay well, $25/hr is sort the max.>>60898892Manufacturing what exactly?
Same boat except went straight to post out of college and laid off at 29. Freelancing small gigs for slave wages but I need a remote job again. Heard Flexjobs is good but they have a paywall. Any ways to find a good remote gig? What can I lie on in my resume?
>>60898255Does anyone have the real meme of this with Le Happy Merchant working the vise ? It’s really Jews that are responsible for all of this Usary

Honestly switch to serving. With tips the servers I manage are pulling 45+ an hour and it's easy as fuck.
