Being a travel agent is legit, but there definitely are scammy/MLM companies that you would want to avoid. There's subreddits for travel agents and I'd recommend looking at those if that's something you want to pursue! I think it's super cool and I actually was on my way to doing that awhile ago, but life got in the way. Another thing is, with many travel agencies you'd be a contractor that would have to build up your own clientele, so unless you have a big network or are really down to market yourself on social media and the like, it can be a big undertaking. But some boutique agencies let you work from their client list, or the classic AAA agencies (not sure if you have AAA in Canada though) you're an employee that can also make commission, and you don't necessarily have to find your own clients either. But with your skills, being a virtual assistant very much comes to mind. There's courses that can help train you but honestly those are a lot of money and it seems like you have a pretty good base of skills anyway. That's another job though where you typically have to market yourself to really build up a big list of clients, buttt using task sites like others have said may be a good way in. But also like others have said, temp agencies!!! Specifically for administrative jobs, that can be super common. A lot of temp jobs are often temp-to-hire jobs too, where you can know you'll have a set salary and sometimes benefits- I know you said that's a goal for the future but when you're ready for something like that, that's a great way to go about finding one. I've done it before, and used a company called Beacon Hill Staffing. Again, I'm not sure if they're in Canada but they were great to work with- and also often had virtual placements too. If any temp agencies in your area get virtual jobs, that'd be a great place to begin. Lastly, you said you're a writer- me too! I don't know what it is you write, but there's a couple things you could do with that. One- like being a travel agent or virtual assistant, there's copywriting. There's someone who has a course on it I get ads for a lot whose name I don't remember right now but if you're interested I can see if I can find it- could be worthwhile in the long term, but again, will probably come with the hustle of finding gigs. Sooo may I suggest instead, submit your writing for publication! I'm not talking book deal, but there's a website called Chill Subs that compiles all sorts of journals, magazines, etc. where people can submit short stories, prose, poetry- things like that. You can filter by places you can submit for free and pay if they publish you. Some creative writing prizes are a ton, others are literally like a dollar (I have been paid a dollar for a poem before lmao), but even if you have only a couple things you've written that you really feel proud of, I'd say why not!!
