I got laid off 2 years ago and had to rebuild my resume as a designer. Design jobs average from 100-500 applicants. Insane saturation, so I knew I needed to find a side hustle to help me be patient while looking for the right job.
I found that working the early shift at a coffee shop was a great help for me. It wasn’t a side hustle that took too much energy away for me, and I was able to finish my work day around 1pm.
Allowed me to slowly and methodically apply for jobs I really cared about instead of thrashing in the wind.
I’ve seen that passive income takes a tonnnn of energy and investment to really get off the ground. So it might be worth skipping that unless you’re particularly passionate about your endeavor.
Good luck! Be patient! Don’t be afraid to spend a little extra $ and buy French toast for breakfast sometimes. You’re gonna get a win.
