That means you have to start a business, small, from home, then get an office maybe. Idea is to work for yourself. That way you become important. That will bring in everything else.
I have been self-employed/independent contractor for the vast majority of my working years since I left University. I've often described being a Real-Estate agent as glorified underemployment at best and unemployment at worst. It's only as of recent I've ventured into the world of salaried work. My gross income this year is likely to be higher than any single year in the last decade, without having to worry about where the next money is coming from. This doesn't say much about Real-Estate which have had gross incomes as low as $ 4000K in some years (ie 2012), and the highs didn't go much higher than $ 30K gross at best. This is selling homes, etc...
The only difference with Real-Estate is that it felt more free as a profession when it did work. (ie you don't feel the hours, and has a more carefree vibe compared to call center work, but salaried work has a more on and off switch, whereas self-employment does not, you always feel on and have a guilty feeling because you could be working or doing more).
The thing that really spurred me into full-time selling insurance work was the covid benefit payments. Getting regular money from the government changed me, and I couldn't stand the unpredictablity of income anymore. Now I get paid more than the covid benefits at current place I am at.
That being said, the majority of business don't work out. It's only like a very small minority of business survive after the first five years. It's really brutal. Real-Estate was brutal when I did that, and still is today. You can't just say make a business like you are suggesting. This has to be a major passion project with a marketable idea that will sell to the general public. There are suggestions online for this, but the job I have is another stumbling block along with my caregiving durities at home. It's just too oppressive and time-consuming to put any sort of side-business. I can't even send out resumes and follow-up with job leads properly let alone start a business.
