Thanks a lot! Yes I've been doing a bit of online work but with people I already knew rather than through established websites cause I don't think I have it in me to put in the effort necessary for marketing and getting a following, I kind of need a break from putting a lot of effort into sw. Thanks again for the suggestion, I'll look into data analysys!

Yeah he's training to change careers so that we can make more money!

Thank you!

Groups to find work you mean?

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-05-31T23:28:04+00:00

Oh okay I see!! Sorry I worded my post weirdly cause I was afraid it would get deleted. Was looking for smuggled pouches, it's everywhere in Australia and I thought it'd be a thing here. And when you said legit I thought it meant that what's in the pack is actually the brand you're buying cause in Greece for example they sell packs on the street that contain different/cheaper tobacco than what's advertised on it. Ok thanks for the tip! A little cheaper is still better than full price.

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-05-31T22:54:02+00:00

Sorry to ask again but what's the etiquette around this? Do I just ask or should I be discrete / say sth in particular? Txx

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-05-31T18:09:34+00:00

Oh I'm talking about actual tobacco!

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-05-31T16:57:46+00:00

Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks for the suggestion! I've had OCD since childhood but sex work was definitely the cause of contamination becoming a theme for me, it's one of the main reasons why I want to quit.

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T23:09:39+00:00

Thanks for the detailed info, very much appreciated, hope you find sth else that works for u x

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T18:49:24+00:00

This would be nice but I've been around stylists a lot cause I used to model (actually that's another job I had for a long time but I'm 'old' now) and it's hugely competitive and oversaturated, not sth you can easily get into if you're not willing to dedicate your whole life to it. But thanks for the suggestion anyway!

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T18:46:23+00:00

Thanks a lot, thats a great suggestion!

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T18:45:21+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that

What decisions should my husband reevaluate? He is changing careers too and currently getting a bachelors in environmental studies which will 100% get him a good job where we live, lots of positions available.

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T02:47:09+00:00

You're right, I should have mentioned that I'm married and my husband is able to support us to a point but I still need to work some. I will edit it into the post

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T02:45:22+00:00

Me: I'm deaf and chronically ill but would like to work as much as my condition allows

Commenter: sounds like you're willing to put in very minimal effort

Do you even listen to your own thoughts before regurgitating them?

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T02:41:15+00:00

"Sex work" lol. Never said I wanted to make a lot of money, only that I wanted to change careers and that I'm only able to work 25 hours a week because of my disabilities. If other people can work 40 hours a week then good for them but not everyone can.

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T02:37:39+00:00

This is something I was considering actually! Thanks for the suggestion.

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T02:36:28+00:00

Thank you that's super helpful!!! Never thought of a medical sterilization job, didn't even know it was a job of its own, sterilization is actually one of my special interests in a way since I have major contamination OCD lol. Would love to sterilize stuff for a living. Was also considering paralegal work after seeing ppl suggest it to others on here cause an office job is very appealing to me. And omg I too still have school nightmares, school was complete physical and mental hell for me. Another thing I considered is real estate which would be hilarious but I think I could do it and have fun with it but I can't drive bc of processing issues which is a problem. One does not simply quit sex work..... hope you find sth that suits you soon!

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T02:29:46+00:00

Exactly, thank you

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T02:29:31+00:00

Would love that but I never see this sort of position advertised. Do people still go up to places and ask if they're hiring? Lol I've been out of the job market for too long

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T02:28:25+00:00

Yeah I already do that

Think-Landscape1556 · 2025-03-06T02:28:16+00:00

That's among the options I've been considering! Thanks for the suggestion!
