I am having a hard time finding a job

Post new topic

KingPinAries

Hello, my name is Harry. For the past two years, I have been working in seafood processing in Alaska. It involved long hours of work, usually 12 to 16 hours per day, for a pay rate of $18 per hour. Despite my efforts to save money, I didn't manage to come home with any savings after two seasons. As a result, I have decided to give up on this line of work.


Now, I am looking for online opportunities that will allow me to fulfill my dream of going to Colombia. Unlike many others, my goal in Colombia is not centered around seeking romantic relationships. Instead, I am keen on going to college there as studying in Colombia is much more affordable than in the United States. This discovery has reignited my interest in pursuing higher education.


The purpose of this post is to connect with individuals currently living in Colombia, particularly in Medellin where I already have friends. I am seeking their assistance in finding an online job that will enable me to support myself while pursuing my goal of mastering the Spanish language and eventually attending college. I do not possess specific online skills as I have primarily engaged in physical labor so far. However, I am eager to transition into an office-based role. If anyone knows of an online job that is open to hiring individuals without specific online experience and offers competitive wages for Colombia, please feel free to send me a message. Any guidance or insights would be greatly appreciated.


Besides searching for online job opportunities, I also have a **** of 520 subs where I share my journey and experiences. If you take a look at my channel, you'll see how dedicated I am to achieving my dream of moving outside the United States. As I mentioned earlier, I believe that Colombia is often viewed as a destination primarily for dating or romantic encounters in many YouTube videos and media coverage. However, I am determined to change that perception and showcase the true essence of Colombia.


My goal is to humanize Colombians to an American audience who may only see them as sexual objects. I plan on interviewing ordinary people, capturing their stories of childhood and adulthood to shed light on their lives and experiences. Through this approach, I hope to change the image of Colombia or, at the very least, make a significant contribution towards that effort.

Also, you can not promote your youtube channel on the forum however you can exchange ideas on related threads/topics.

You'll be hard pressed to find remote, on-line, work without already having a college degree or computer programming experience. 


Plus, not entirely sure, but not sure you can go to university and work in Colombia at the same time....different type of visas.

They could just start a YouTube channel telling everyone how wonderful Colombia is when compared to the States, Australia and Europe. This while asking for donations and selling courses teaching one and all how to make the move. They could also position themselves as a dating expert. Many are living in Colombia doing this and new ones take up the mantle every day. Get on board, and no college is required.1f601.svg1f609.svg1f923.svg
