OK. If we have the lowest unemployment in 20 years, why can’t you just get a regular job? Work on that whole full-time benefits route. Just curious.

The point I was making with the whole post is that instead of sitting home, waiting for interviews, acceptance and all that - we have the ability to simply start working.
My investors pulled their money - instantly. 20 minutes later, I was able to work and support my family. This is totally unprecedented regardless of any strength in the economy.
And no, I won’t be able to work this “permanently” but I can, right now, start to support my family and stay off the dole.
For those who are entertaining it they may just need a little income to help out. It’s great for that. If you need it full time, it’s there but your car isn’t going to last and you’re not going to make “New car every 3 months” money doing it. Be careful.
The ultimate reason to entertain this is complex math: You can have a $13 an hour job today, or a $15 an hour job in 3 weeks (If you’re good). It’s better to take the $13 job now. You’ll actually end up with more money for the next 6 or so months than you would if you ignored the opportunity.
As far as getting job, I’m a desirable guy in a desirable market who does desirable services. I’ll get a job. But now I won’t just “sit and wait” and possibly borrow money to survive. I can survive now. My family will not have me around as much, but as a man I can do my job - Support my family in adversity.
