I'm 31. Working as a MRI supervisor in a large hospital. I've been in the medical field for 7 years, the longer I'm in it, the more I can't stand it. I have 54 people who I supervise. Most of them are self righteous, "powerful", independent women. I will spare you the details..

I'm really looking to get out and start new. I also have a family so I have to consider that. I've thought of learning a trade. Working for myself.. sure just doing what? What do the good citizens of poal do for a living? What do you recommend?

I do SEO/SEM services.

SEO - Search Engine Optimization I help your website rank higher organically on Google.

SEM - Search Engine Marketing I run those annoying ads on Google (and unfortunately paid ads on social platforms).

I wanted a job I could do from home ever since I was young. I was going to college for computer science, but dropped out since my school was very liberal and my education was worthless.

I BSed my way into jobs through a freelancing site called Upwork and met a pretty cool business partner on a public forum when reading about best practices.

Now I don't have to BS anymore so I can easily charge $50/hr+ or pick up clients for a few thousand dollars a month with a nice flatrate fee. I hired three friends/family and I'm teaching them. Once this tax season is done I'll start up an LLC and just work on expanding.

Well this is freaking awesome. You could employee some people on Poal haha that way you have like minded gents working for you. I will look into SEO and SEM. Seems pretty cool if you could work from home. You have a family?

Yeah a big reason I want to have my own company is to hire people who deserve it. I want a chill work environment where people can pick their own hours and work as much/little as they want as long as the clients are happy. A lot of these accounts don't require tons of maintenance once you optimize them.

One client pays me $2,600 a month on management fees for a few accounts that are out performing expectations even when I don't touch them anymore. I do a few hours of maintenance and make sure reports are good to go at the end of each month. None of my employees will need to be stuck in 8 hour soul sucking hours wasting their time. That's the dream/goal.

I'm going to be trying for my first kid next month, actually.

I tried two years ago but my life fell apart. Had to get work in order, bought a house, and now I feel a bit more free financially. It's a bit later than I wanted but life doesn't always go the way you want. Just gotta try and make the best of it where you can.

Sounds like you're doing something that matters.

Yeah that's the goal. Help some people who deserve it. I'm probably going to keep my "friends & family rates" for tiny companies moving forward. I have one client who does little "at home" music lessons and he's been absolutely thrilled to be getting around 10 new leads a month from my campaign. He hired his first employeee to help him with all the new clients. He didn't think he could get it past a hobby but now he's looking at himself as an entrepreneur. Good stuff.

Saving your post for when I get my website to not be a piece of shit and I'm ready to start driving people there.

Also, I have a sneaking suspicion you're better at it than all the millions of Indians spamming my email every day.
