Well here goes first shot in this section and want to give this board a fair chance to actually make a difference rather than sound black-pill gloomy on other discussion threads, etc... I'm currently licensed in Real-Estate and Life insurance, and am have been in training in Insurance since February and haven't made a penny in the business. Covid cheques from the government will likely be running out by the end of the month. Currently live at home and don't have anything saved (ie I don't consider $ 10,000 to be enough of a savings, etc...) at 45 years old. My father is in the tree service and is modestly successful but after expenses, is not brining in anything substantial. He is encouraging me to go to school to learn about trees but I'm just not interested in that sort of thing plus there is also allot of competition and cut-throat prices to get work and drama that comes with some of the workers getting greedy, etc....
I'm worried about looking for other jobs or going too much back into Real-Estate because I'm unvaccinated and feel to be able to function properly I'll need to be vaccinated since there are all these vaccine mandates floating around and people expecting people who are working with the public to be vaccinated even though there is not yet an official mandate for Real-Estate agents. The only alternative is really to do nothing and hope some miracle happens.
Lets say you have under $ 10,000, what are the first three things you would do in such a scenario? Would you just try to find stocks or investments that can double or triple your money? Would you get vaccinated right away? Would you look for other work-from-home opportunities? Would you take courses (which I've taken more than enough in life to feel like I'm going nowhere. Like I'm good with book knowledge but do not find it helpful when it comes to where the rubber hits the road)?
