I keep seeing virtual assistant work pushed everywhere as the way to work from home and i can't tell if it's legit or another scam funnel. So what is a virtual assistant really, like what do you actually do day to day. Do clients expect you to know specific tools already or do they train you? and is the money actually liveable or is everyone underpaid. not looking for a get rich thing, just want to know if this is a real career path before i spend time learning it. people doing it now, is it worth getting into in 2026.

Flying in and want to mark the trip with something tiny. Skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, anything small and NYC-coded. Fine line preferred.

Most artists I've messaged are booked out three months. Anyone know studios that keep slots open for shorter lead times? Willing to be flexible on the exact day.
