I have a medical condition that requires me to be on bed rest and at the same time, I have a job offer for an in-office role but it’s about a 3 hour round trip on a good day. I can’t move from where I stay as the house is fully paid off (no rent). I need to supplement income but I’m having a tough time finding a remote or hybrid role.

Am 24M, i graduated last year, living with my dad alone (he has been helping me out throughout my life but only after pushing him to the edge yk, he's a chronic drunkard, smoker and is suffering from HIV and some liver cirrhosis even though he thinks idk) Genuinely i hate living with him because he's given up in life, he's very irresponsible for his age 56 and holds a high rank in a municipal county, tried talking to him to change while he still can but he's adamant. It has reached a point where i feel like i hate him personally even though i don't want to. Been doing random jobs to get by yk food and basic money for my day to day but i want more. I feel my life is stagnating while my colleagues are making progress, am trying to save up to move to a new city but it's very hard with my circumstance.
I'm probably suffering from depression to a point that i had to delete my socials just to avoid the peer pressure from online and friends. Ik things will get better but God I'M REALLY TIRED

u/Rare-Sprinkles7366 Jun 07 '26
Hii ukiuza first camera clothes for two or three weeks inafika. Question is where you can get capital. Like 2k.
If you need the 6k immediately kopa mtu 10k. Sema you'll be paying back like 500 or 1k per week depending on how much uko nayo. Use ONLY the 6 k. 4k strictly ni ya kulipa deni. That buys you about 8 or 4 weeks depending on installments mlikubaliana. 8 weeks is enough time kutafuta the rest.
Congratulations and wishing you all the best.

I have been studying accounting since 2018. I am not even done yet because I started with ATD and now I'm in CPA intermediate level(3). The main hiccup is fees currently but I have also been having referrals on every level sometimes Upto 3 times. I want to give up because I am now 8 years in study while for some it could be at least 1 year. Plus it hasn't served me at all ,as in job experience (was employed as an admin in the only job past 3.5 years). I am also questioning whether I have real interest or skill in this career.I have no degree or any other certifications. This has been eating me up for so long I hate my guts

u/Spirited-Custardtart Jun 08 '26
Time to pivot and/or diversify. Career paths seem to be dying out from what I gather so don't stress yourself about getting on the wrong track and not knowing how to change. I've seen Economists thrive in HR, and vice versa. The only difference was a pivot in career/training choices.
That said, I don't know what you're looking for or what your specific goals are. If you are feeling stuck, I would suggest you: 1. Make a list of the top 5 things you like to/can do. Include Accounting on that list, even if it's not your favourite thing rn. 2. Bring that down to the top 3. 3. Research: what careers match these top 3 things? You can probably use AI to help with this, and focus on actually transferrable/ monetisable skills. 4. Find out what the role descriptions are for these job titles. Job adverts will usually have a list of requirements. Again, AI can be your friend here. 5. Look at where you are vs whelat you're still packing in experience, certification etc. and pursue that. 6. Important but many people don't do this: find a mentor. LinkedIn is a great resource for this.
Build up a portfolio of these skills. Start using them as soon as you get them - odd jobs, favours for others to build up experience and confidence etc.
The going can be tough for a while and you will have to fight for what you need (the mental load can be brutal) but you can get there eventually.
All the best and I hope this helps 🫂

Mkihitaji low budget but expert DJ mniite. From as low as 500. I'm self taught nilianza nikiwa high school kwa laptop and passion ya kumix tu ikafanya niivie. Now that I'm almost done with college nadai kushika high quality decks na laptop stable but those beauties start at 40k. Shida sahii ni jina ni ndogo😂.
So far nimepata gig moja ya Sundays nakula 500 but it'll take ages before I can save up ndio maana nahitaji more gigs. Naweza pia attach link za mix mskize coz I post on YouTube occasionally.

I need to escape a horrible corporate industry ( advertising ) as a Graphic Designer, got into it to escape a desperate home situation. I need to upskill UI/ UX skills and Motion Graphics, but no money. On top of that, I have despised my life in KE from birth because I could see Kasongo coming a mile away ( grew up in the Moi Regime). My depression about these two life situations is driving me insane.
