2 months agoMaybe try to find a small business you care about or interests you? I own a small business. It’s me, my wife, my sister-in-law and two friends I made in the industry. We all get paid $16/hr. We got to create the environment we wanted to work in. Its a lot of work but we’re happy and feel more free than we would elsewhere.
I know I’m coming from a point of privilege writing this but I like to think we’re all on equal footing at my place and we’re doing our best to grow together rather than making me rich. I’ve worked for a lot of small businesses as well and they often have more respect for skills and individuals - not all - but a lot. If you find a place you like or even love it can become like a second home.
Can we advertise instances? lol I started one for makers making things. (it’s brand new so its empty) Edit: It’s https://pixels.makearmy.io/ for anyone who’s curious. We’re on a small time server so no promises as to performance, still working out the bugs and such but if you’re curious check it out.
