A lot of us are freelancers here on steem so while we believe cryptocurrency has a future it's hard not to rely on USD in today's world. To make ends meet we do what? Sell our art, sell our talent, pick up odd jobs, donate plasma, anything to pursue our hobbies and passions. It's worth it in the end, the time not stuck 9-5 it is worth the extra time spent doing our creative works.
I was researching odd jobs; specifically, ones that could be done at home with small children. And came across an independent agent gig that doesn't seem too shabby. You would set you own hours, it pays roughly 300-600 dollars a day, and there are opening in every state.
Who is this work for, well that's the thing. It's for the enemy.... Wall Street dun dun dun. But not just Wall Street but the agency that oversees all of Wall Streets wheels and deals, finra.
The job is arbitration, they pay for you to become certified and then you randomly get selected for cases as they appear in your home state. The requirements are pretty low: five years working any profession, two years of college, and you have to become certified which involves a fairly simple process (2ish days of studying and a test that looks simple if you pay somewhat attention during "class time").
I think it would be interesting to get to know the financial rules, regulations, procedures of Wall Street a little better. I could see that being beneficial to my future in investing, saving, potentially making millions on cryptocurrency! Bahaha wicked evil laugh!
Seriously though, check out finra.org for more information if you don't believe me.
They are taking applications from all fifty states, provide free training, you become a certified arbitrator (which you can use elsewhere too), and they pay up to 600 dollars for a full work day.
The website itself contains lots of useful financial information and kind of let's us all know what happened to the stock market (insider business and loose regulations funded by well those same business men).
Meme was created by me on imgflip.com and information was paraphrased from finra.org.
I'd love to get away from the current 9-5 (actually more like 7:30-6) corporate grind that is slowly eating away at what's left of me. Thanks for sharing this, it's nice to know that there are alternatives to what I'm doing.
Whether or not this is something I could do will require more investigation on my part. It sounds like I'm qualified as far as work experience goes and I already have experience with stocks and options so maybe I should look at it more seriously when I get off work this evening!
Upvote for you!
I found the information while researching how to become an arbitrator. I have been at home for the last two years due to disability but have enter remission so I am starting to think of a new career goal. I can not go back to my choksen profession due to the medical condition, yet I can't find another career that was rewarding as nursing. I would recommend nursing as a great second career for people. A lot of nurses get there later in life and the experience you have in your previous 9-5 is relevant to the job as nursing has a ton of paperwork. But you get patients and results and the medical aspect.
I do understand the feeling of drowning at work from boredom or redundancy. That's how I feel at home with no job. It becomes daunting to think about Monday when all my kids expect the youngest head off to class and my husband to work leaving me an empty abyss of a week to fulfill.
I hope you find the job your looking for and if your searching new careers nursing is a great one and it pays decently even for LPN degrees.
My problem is I'd be taking a significant pay cut (at least 30%) if I switched careers. I plan on doing it some day but I'm making really good money. It's just a matter of how long I can stand the stress. I usually handle it better than I have this week.
I appreciate your well thought out reply! Hope you have a fun weekend with your family.
love it!
