He completed his post-graduation recently and has been looking for a job since then. He's stuck in a loop of "getting a job to get experience ~ have experience to get a job"

It would be great if someone could help in finding a job or give some guidance. Thanks!

As someone running a small crochet business, I genuinely want to know..... are people really interested in buying handmade crochet products anymore?

I’ve noticed that many people love the products, compliment the work, save posts, and even ask for prices… but when they hear the actual cost, they suddenly feel it’s “too expensive.” It feels like people want handmade items, but don’t want to pay for the time, skill, effort, and material that goes into making them.

Crochet is so time-consuming, especially custom pieces. Sometimes a single product can take hours or even days, and pricing it fairly still feels “expensive” to customers compared to mass-produced items.

Is this something all handmade businesses go through? Whether it’s crochet, art, candles, jewelry, etc.? Or is the market genuinely shifting away from handmade products?

I’d really love to hear honest experiences from both buyers and handmade business owners.
