Step 1: Determine what you are good at.
Step 2: Determine which parts of what you are good at are what you enjoy.
Step 3: Determine what you can do with the result that people need or want enough to be willing to pay for.
Me for example, I like baking. I make sourdough bread for myself - in 14 to 21 loaf batches because sourdough bread takes almost a whole day so I might as well make a lot and freeze most of it. A lot of people I know have said they really like my bread. In fact if I lived in a big city I would probably be currently running a bakery. But I live in a small town with no plans to move, so I just make bread for me.
I do make a good 26-ish loaves of bread around Christmas time though. See there are people at church who have become accustomed to me giving them a loaf of bread for a Christmas present. Apparently they anticipate it, as when I give them a loaf most of them say something like "Alright!"

Yes, I was kidding. Ideas....The Avion lady job sounds to good to be true. haha! I was kicking around the idea of being a real estate agent or mortgage broker, but to be honest, I'm just brainstorming right now.
I like making bread rolls. It's real easy with a bread machine. Lynx, I agree with you, you need to find your passion. So, you ever try selling your bread?

Thanks! I work for a small company, but am definitely feeling stifled by the rat race. Your friend sounds like he/she's doing pretty well for themselves.
Taxes can be a complicated affair. Hard copies are necessary, but for ease of access, I'd recommend keeping electronic records, too. Even if you're the pinnacle of organization, it can be easier to sift through a spreadsheet file than a bunch of hard copies.

Yeah thanks for tax advice. I'm really just kicking ideas around. This might take 1 or 2 years to get any traction. Like the old saying goes, If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Does your friend work 60 hours a week? According to a website I saw yesterday, average driver makes 15$ and hour.
Here is the website that reported it. https://www.ridester.com/how-much-do-uber-drivers-make/
Uber drives can make $25 an hour and as little as 10$ an hour. Main thing is that people have jobs and are working. New York drivers make more, but the cost of living pretty much skews those numbers.

That would probably be unethical.
Good thinking outside the box though. Or thinking outside the bread pan, or whatever. Uber doesn't even have a presence in my smalltown, Tennessee. Otherwise I'd probably be ferrying people in my downtime.

Well, for part time work, you could always offer to clean houses . But do get receipts, even if you get paid in cash. We still owe Uncle Sam money, even for side gigs.

Clean houses? Molly Maid has the market cornered! I definitely couldn't compete with them!

Lynz!!! Sounds like you could be the first in the market in smalltown, Tennessee. Get on that ferrying business before the market is cornered. Think of this..........."Lynz now ferrying downtown, call 800-downtown, or see ferrydowntown.com to reserve your trip......Hurry, don't delay, downtown awaits"
Nah, we already have this official state-sponsored thing called SouthWest. They mostly run people to their medical appointments but they'll also take people to w*rk or back home for three bucks a trip. That's less than I would have paid for gas to make said trip, so I can't compete with what is basically a state subsidized taxi van.

I do miss seeing those pink cadillacs... Oh wait..that was Mary Kay cosmetics..So I'm guessing... "Avon Lady" is still on the options table.
You should try a job transfer opportunity. It covers all your expenses; housing, medical, security, education and groceries.
Simply plant a crop of cannabis, and your job opportunity will be transferred to a local facility providing you with all of the above.

I read a article about guy that walks people...not dogs but people,for whatever reason many people dont like going on walks alone insecurity,safety,companionship whatever.
There is apparently a market for it because the guy is hiring employees now and he is going to branch out to different locals.
He's not a security guard just someone that will go on a walk with you and get payed for it, i imagine that being a great conversationalist is a requirement but he said that many people just enjoy having someone listen.
