Don't we all This is the million $ question - now it is more and more difficult to find work from home, unless you are hired by an actual company that supports remote work, you would need talent, skill, experience, academic. I would like to say there are crowd sourcing tasks, but forget about that, now AI has taken over most tasks site, and the remaining work left is crummy - It is against rules here to mention other site names, so I won't and can't, but I can mention Appen, since it is specifically mentioned in an official topic here and they were an official supplier here, there is even a topic mentioning how to work directly with them now, so not breaking any rules. DO I recommend them, ABSOLUTELY NOT, they are allegedly near broke, and mainly negative reviews - lot of work being rejected unfairly to avoid being paid, too many negative reviews now, bad authors, unfair TQ plague the platform. There are many other crowd tasking sites, one run by a very popular ecommerce site setting online, the one that has subscription to get free shipping, yeah that, do I recommend tasks there, A BIG RESOUNDING NO, they have issues with requesters mass rejecting HITs, which brings your reputation score so low you can't work on anything else.
Stay away from crowd sourced tasks for the most part they suck, they are very unfair, you only get paid when work is reviewed, and most of the time you will get rejected without appeal and unfairly.

There are freelancer marketplaces and platforms where individuals and even reputable companies post jobs offerings for remote work - some require specific skills and experience though.

You can also exploit your talents and skills online in many other ways, some require $$$$ some not.

Skill and talent goes a long way and opens door but competition is fierce more than ever now.

If you have talents, skills, etc, especially in design, coding, web, etc, there are platforms where you can offer your services. If you have TALENT for selling and bullshitting, you can be an affiliate marketer for many brands and products, etc. A lot of opportunities exist, but easy ones are rare or virtually non existent anymore.

If you are a good writer and content producer, you can run your own blog, site, even YouTube channel - some people went from broke to wealthy by their YouTube channel. There are many examples, look at Justin Bieber he started on YouTube and now worth millions $, though in my opinion, it sure wasn't due to his skill / talent, but I guess I won't get into that - you have people (genuine) who worked hard, there is this basketball player who was good at it in high school, he quit college to do YouTube, it paid off, now worth millions. There is this guy who travels the world and posts videos........ If you have talent / skill and LOTS LOTS LOTS of LUCK and manage to get a following, you are set, but nowadays it's more and more difficult, only a fraction of a fraction of YouTubers reach that level.

Your best bet right now is finding part time work (official hire) - if you want work from home type, those will require more experience and academic - don't fall for the many SCAMS advertised on YoUTube and those bogus scam offering you receive on LinkedIn.

Must be very different where you are.

Pharmacists are college educated and it's not an easy degree. If he is a real pharmacist then he should have the experience or he would never had passed his college exams. Unless of course, it is totally different there than in the States.

In India, there are plenty of college degree holders in every field and the issue is that they do not get Jobs for their qualification and they end up working at Swiggy and Zomato.

First time I did hear person ask this question was day 1 human was created on this planet

Ironic isn't it, same shit here - YET you hear so many stories of people who dropped from school and currently making millions of $. Larry King did not go past high school and had a net worth of $50 million, it's not always about the diploma, though I know a lot of people who have finished University, and not been able to find decent jobs or any job, and I know MORE people who have not gone past high school and succeeded far more than any of the people with high academics that I know - it's all about luck, right connections, skill and talent - and not applying for stuck up f*cks who only look at a piece of paper.

Nowadays it is not only how knowledgeable you are in a specific area or at a certain disicpline. Education is of course essencial but companies look for beside skills,expertise and certification, for character traits,like passion,self awareness, to live up to expectations,good work/life balance and a desire to learn and grow. Ask Musk he knows all about it

You mean ask someone who has 44 billion to spend on a crap social media platform full of fake news and quacks, I'll pass But I do know that companies are still obsessed with the papers, before anything else - haven't you noticed how much incompetence there is in many industries, have you ever gone "How the #@$! did they hire this person, they are an idiot" or come across workers who have no bloody clue what they are talking about, or seem like they do not like their job ? PLENTY, it's full of it, companies are hiring the least expensive, regardless of passion and skill - you see industries with a very high turnover rate, companies do not seem to give two shits As far as PRACTICE goes, a diploma holds no weight - because someone with skill and work experience will beat any diploma hands down, WHY because of the flawed education system based on outdated textbooks and theoretical learning - I mean you know right, most people here have gone to school, at least high school, have you ever said to yourself "What's the use of learning this boring shite anyway, I'll forget most of it anyway" SURE, some things you forget some not, but a lot of the studies are a waste of time and you learn fluff you will not need in your life. Chemistry was part of my courses in school, I was good at it, ask me now if I can remember the stuff - if you were to ask me to calculate an an ionization constant, I would nail it, NOW, ask me - the most I can remember are a few elements in the table Then you have college or university, and it's worse, more fluff, - I mean it would be great if the courses were based on your career path - and combined with actual practice and real world scenarios, not outdated books and theory - because then you have university students graduating, they can hardly spell common words and hardly know shit about the workforce, problem solving and thinking about the box, and passion, they don't have, they are swimming in debt, depressed, high, etc, having supervised interns frash out of university I can tell you a thing or two about it - I've had candidates without college or university diplomas far outperform university students grad or non grad, and you should see those thank you letter university interns would send me after their internship was over full of spelling errors you would expect from a kid in kindergarten, and using casual stance instead of formal So yeah so much for big diplomas and degrees - some people have both diplomas AND the right skill, but a lot have all the papers hanging on their walls, with nice shiny frames, but passion, skill and experience are lacking BIG TIME.

I have had better experiences with people who were self taught - I'm self-taught myself in some areas - I have taken computer courses - it's pathetic, I feel have I have learned far more on my own than the stuff I learned in school, which is so boring. In my computer class people were writing easy code, I was the one pissing off my teacher, by writing assembly code and more complex programs If you have the PASSION, skill to learn, fast learner and lots of luck, you can become good at pretty much a lot of things, and will generally outperform those who wasted half their life chasing papers. Look at Dr. Oz who went through medical school, only to end up being on a TV show full of quacks, endorsing his quack guests and spewing non medical sense, borderline peddling those miracle weight loss pills that are sometimes dangerous - Though with doctors it's different, practice is part of the learning - not only do you need a paper, you have to go through years of residency and you WILL deal and practice a lot of the material you learn. If all industries were like that, you would have people much better qualified and good at their job instead of being grumpy old dbs

I remember when I was young and had to take oral foreign language exams we were obliged to read a bunch of books. I remember that I only read a few chapters of a certain book and when the exam started and was asked which books I had read, I gave the name of the author and the title of the book (I had read a few chapters) and started talking about it and gave the teachers no chance to ask any further questions about any more books or anything else. I passed with an A. The meaning of the exam was the verbal test and not the knowledge of the books.I took the logical and practical approach.Companies love to over complicate things

Makes me think about memory and people of high IQ's.

I had a half sister that was brilliant in regards to IQ and school. I single her out but I have known very people with her ability. My first husband was like that too. Hand them a book, they'd read it once and remember almost every word. Never brought books home to study. Read it once, see it once, remember it forever.

So what's the problem?

I'm not sure.

There IS a problem there.

Student nurses for example. They graduate and take their State exam to be licensed. Even after they pass, they may know what they read and studied for the exam but how well do they PERFORM at what they retained?

Therefore, a person may retain information but lack performing it. The opposite is also very true. A person may have the ability to perform a task but not retain it.

Exactly when people pass their drivers exam that doesn´t make them good drivers otherwise who is at fault of those thousands of yearly traffic deaths.

An Tasmanian 65 years old YouTuber spends a lavish lifestyle in Laos with his 45 year old wife from Laos she also makes YouTube videos Laos is a communist country being devloped by China sit in a Bulliet train and enjoy the ride have a party in the Mekong river with tables and chairs floating and babes freaking out who would say its a communist country life seems to be better than in a democracy I wouldn't mind popping in

Agree with that , it is all about one can or one can not and for one that can it is not important if country is democratic or or not democratic [ I am 100% sure Kim Jong-un do not care that he live in communist country ]

Pop into the Mekong river Mr Tasman and feel life in heaven

ahahahaha it's quite simple mate - maybe in those communist country there is law and order, less freedom but it has some perks - here in so-called democracy land it's all about status quo, and anything is allowed basically - but wait, if TRUE democracy worked as it should, nobody would dare say it is better in a communist party - I'm pretty sure nobody would want to trade living in a democracy with living in a communist country, though as long as you do not bad mouth politicians or say anything bad about country, or want to expose truth about high figures, then you would still be safe in those countries. There are pros and cons, would you trade living in India with living in Russia, or Australia for Russia, maybe not such a good idea now What about China or North Korea, well there are pros and cons, probably more pros at this time As far as the US, some people have referred to the Democrats as a communist party of the far left, some people refer to America as communist - yet in America, you can buy guns pretty much anywhere, kill people and get away with it most of the time - and most crime go with puny sentences - most people are not following sanitary guidelines for COVID - now compare that with China where you MUST comply with those guidelines or else - sure we all joke around sometimes and say we would better in communist countries, maybe as sarcasm or meme, but this is subjective - if you want law and order, discipline and have no problems having someone decide things for you and order you what to do and you must comply, if you are fine with not being allowed to have an opinion or talking about your politician, even if he/she is a complete c*ck - then communism is for you and you would indeed be better off.......
I do know personally some Chinese who live here now, they say that despite all the CRAP here, they would never trade gong back there or living there, same for the Russians living here - HERE in "America" (includes US & Canada) we have a choice on which douchebag we are going to vote into power - in those countries, basically you have 2 choices, vote this way or get a bullet

IN all fairness, there are pros and cons to both.

Why just Russians and Chinese many Indians have and want to migrate to Canada rules were quite relaxed for migrating to Canada but recently the Canadian government has put some restrictions for Indians wanting to migrate to Canada, its only a word DEMOCRACY even India is one but many see their life elsewhere

WELL Canada is not communist , (not yet anyway ) BUT there some provinces that are so high in crime, you literally have a 2:1 odds of getting mugged, shot or robbed in broad day light - sometimes you would be better off living in China or Russia or even Mexico
