An alternative path to a stable income out of education or formal employment if someone here ever needs it.
I have always been drawn to working independently from big companies and toxic employers so I expiremented over the years with many potential jobs that I could do without crazy qualifications. I also know that many people in this subreddit may have gotten arrested because of their political opinions and may have a hard time working somewhere so this is what I figured out.
This would work mostly for people that live in areas with tourism. At least in my country guided tours like food tours aren't restricted by law (I would be interested to learn about more countries regulations) so technically anybody can start a food tour and even better a group of people (which many times works more efficiently since people can do different shifts and possibly make money to support members that have lost their jobs or even give money to charity). But not just a food tour it can be anything when it comes to niece topics like modern architecture, photography, even literature (e.g. where famous writers lived or worked in), skate or bicycle tours, or even anarchist history tours (for some of these you would need to read some books for which you can also go to a public library. 5-10 for most topics would be more than enough.) that don't ask for any qualifications and can also give people with degrees the opportunities to showcase their knowledge on their field if the market is bad. It can also count as great experience to find a better paying job is you need it.
All you need to start is a social media page where you can post consistently and attract possible customers.
The best part about it is to avoid paying taxes you can introduce the tour guide as a volunteering free guide tour and people can pay as much as they want as tips. (Even for 1 euro or dollar for 6 people you have a decent hour rate we are talking about the minimum of tips since most of the time people in free tours give from 5-10 euros/dollars).
Overall we are talking about a few hours a day of a relatively comfortable job that allows you to express yourself and your knowledge or qualifications or your passions and mostly offer to the community without having to enter the "rat race".
Have a nice day everybody. I think based on the responses of this post I may upload more ideas to live a comfortable life without breaking your body or your mental. ❤️
