What have I been doing all this time?

It is almost 8 months that I stayed home doing nothing to help my parents in our expenses. I wasted a lot of time and I know that I can`t go back to undo what I have done. I am frustrated to myself. I tried almost all types of online jobs like PTC, blog commenting and marketing. But it didn`t last long. It is easy to look for jobs but it is really hard to get a decent one. There are a lot of scammers out there, waiting for their victims. What should I do now? My aunt is forcing me to stay in their house and be their maid. Haaiissstt... Should I grab it or not? Should I still raise my hope in doing online jobs? Maybe I should work as a maid for awhile. Maybe not.

From the way she talked to me, she sounded like a strict person. She even said to me that mobile phones and laptops are not allowed in their house.

Can`t give you some good advise because I also had a hard time searching for a homebased jobs online. I guess, It`s really not for me. I`m doing my best to enjoy and have fun here but of course, still sad when mylot friends don`t even bother to greet you!

No, it`s okay. I admit that I am having fun here, in mylot. It is just that I have to do something to make my family proud of me. .

My sister said the same. I guess I can do the work but I don`t know what are the personalities of people living in that house. I will try for one week, then, I will go home if I can`t. It is my first time to work for a real job (aside from online jobs).

Gathering working experience is much more important for you I think. When you have no any working experience, how could you get a chance to find a decent job?

@Xiasses please believe yourself that you could find a job you want in some day. Maybe not present, but in the near future.

Yeah, you`re right. How can I get a decent job if I don`t have any working experience? Thank you for your message. It helps me reflect on myself.

Whatever you think will be the most beneficial to you is the right decision. Hope you get to decide which one is it.
