My industry has been shut down since March due to covid-19 and I've been struggling to find work that is safe for me to do (I have asthma and a blood disorder that compromises my immune system), haven't had any success with unemployment and really just very stressed about money.
I like these tasks, they're fun.
I wish they paid more. less than 2 dollars for 20 minutes isn't much
No
I don't think so.

I've been out of work since Covid closed down the live event industry in March. the unemployment system still hasn't processed any of my claims, and I have been surviving off of what I can make driving for doordash, which hasn't been a lot.

That is rough. The unemployment system has been very slow during COVID, so I completely understand your frustration and worry. I am glad to hear that you are doing door dash, even if you aren't making a lot that is still something!

ugh, yeah... I drive a really old beat up car though, so I can't really go out after dark, and I'm worried I'm driving it too much and it's going to break down I wish mturk paid more, or one of the jobs I've applied for would hire me to do something form home

I completely understand. I also wish mturk paid more, I feel like it takes a lot of time for not that much money. Do you have a roommate, friend, or family member's car you could possibly borrow instead of using your own?

I understand. Are you still looking for and applying for jobs?

im sorry im late I am still applying, but only for what I can do from home, and I worry i am underqualified are you still there?
user

Yes I am still here. When I started working from home I did a lot of research on different types of jobs that I could do from home. There are a lot of work options that are not necessarily well known, in my opinion, for online work.

Before this my work was primarily in concert audio, with a side hustle of carpentry. I've been playing with these survey sites, and applying for a lot of call center jobs that don't seem interested in me. If you have any suggestions I'm open to them!

If you worked in audio I know that some places, like Upwork and ACX (which does some audiobook work) are looking for audio editing. I am sure that other places are looking for audio editing. I think Fiverr may also be a good place to advertise audio work. I also have an Etsy and Ebay shop, you could possibly sell some of your carpentry work on there if that is possible. Ebay is free to list and Etsy has a small listing fee.
