How Young People Are Doing With Their Side Hustles
Young people flock to being self-media creators (wielding a keyboard), followed by dabbling in e-commerce (with its gatekeeping fees), though everyone still secretly dreams of opening that little cozy shop (like setting up a stall). Then comes the rush to ride the short-video wave (editing clips and dubbing). Of course, who wouldn't want to dive into stocks and funds in this new era (so-called "investing in the nation's destiny")? Last but not least come the more grounded, less flashy options: design work, tutoring, and photography.
In this famously lonely city, services like hospital companionship, gaming buddies, meeting the parents, fake dating—and yes, even assisted shopping—are all booming now.
Income strictly follows the 80/20 rule. Only 20% of people make over $10k a month, and those are the industry elites (those who can navigate any circle, read the room, and monetize their connections). Making $1,000 a month already puts you ahead of half the field. So it's winner-take-all: pick one niche and dig deep until you're at the top.
By the way, most training courses are worthless. You're better off signing up for the government's free skills-training programs, which actually issue certifications.
