Can't find a job in your 40s? The takeaway rider earns 70,000 a year, but you don't want to do it

What to do when a person becomes unemployed in middle age?

In my 40s, I have been looking for a job for several months, but I am not satisfied with it. I am very confused!

There are old people and young people, and the economic pressure is very high. If you can't find a job, you will not be able to live.

The above ideas and pressures should be encountered by many middle-aged unemployed people. There are also a few such people around Lao Cha. I can't find a job, but I don't know what to do.

This is a real problem and a way of thinking. Sometimes there is a way to change the way of thinking.

Can't find a job in your 40s? The takeaway rider earns 70,000 a year, but you don't want to do it

There is never a shortage of work, what is missing is whether you want to do it or not

I recently saw a piece of news saying that at the "Fifth Internet Anthropology Symposium" co-organized by Sun Yat-sen University's Immigration and Ethnic Research Center and Tencent Research Institute, Ye Weiming, an associate professor at Peking University HSBC Business School, showed a group of food delivery riders. The data.

There is a lot of data content, you can find it yourself if you are interested, but one of them is of interest to me, that is, he and his investigation team found that the average income of the takeaway riders interviewed last year was 72,226.05 yuan, which is not low.

In the impression of many people, food delivery people rely on physical strength to make money, not only hard work but also low income. Riding a motorcycle or an electric car every day, shuttling through the streets, no matter the wind and the sun, there is no rest.

In reality, takeaway work is indeed very hard, but the income is not low. Their income depends on the number of orders delivered, salary + number of orders delivered * 5-6 yuan per order (some say 3-4 yuan), as long as they work hard to earn about 5,000-6,000 yuan a month, there is no problem.

A netizen who has been in the business for more than 3 years talked about the income of takeaway riders. He said that there are many riders with incomes of more than 10,000, but riders with incomes of several thousand are also common. This is a job of hard work for those who can, and it depends on whether you can endure hardship or not. I can often see various reports on the hardships of takeaway riders. In his opinion, every industry is not easy, and it takes huge efforts to get rich rewards.

Last time there was also a piece of news, saying that a programmer of a large factory could not find a suitable job because he could not stand the complicated interpersonal relationships within the company, and then resigned naked for three months. So I delivered takeout and made about 20,000 yuan for more than a month.

This piece of information also caused a lot of discussion at the beginning. In everyone's eyes, programmers are a high-level profession. How can anyone give up a high-paying career to deliver food?

Sometimes, if you can't find a solution to the problem, it's not that there is really no way, but that you are limited by your own thinking.

When you don't have a better choice, changing your thinking is the right choice

Many people think that the above mentioned so much is to encourage everyone to be a takeaway brother. This is not the original intention of Laocha. Just want to use this example to illustrate a problem, that is, when you have no better choice, changing your thinking is the right choice.

Many middle-aged people are unemployed and can't find a job. It's not that they can't really find a job, but that they can't find a satisfactory job.

When a person is middle-aged, although his physical strength and energy will be lower than that of young people, in terms of experience, skills and experience, young people cannot compare. These are all things that they can use, but many people cling to their past thinking.

If you have a choice, then naturally you can quickly find a new job through your previous contacts, or you can start a freelancer through your own experience and technology, or you can start your own business with a rich family background. Now that Internet technology is so developed, and the entrepreneurial environment and financing environment are also very good, those who have a choice will naturally know where to go.

If you don't have a choice, then as you reflect on your own experiences over the years, change your mindset too. Appropriately lower your requirements for work. Many jobs are not earning money, but you can't put your face down and you can't stand hard work. Since there are no more options, then why die and suffer for face?

If it’s because you can’t stand hard work, then there are still other jobs that are not hard. Some are physical, some are mental, and some are psychological. As long as you are not afraid of hardship, there are still many opportunities.

Unemployment in middle age is actually a false proposition. It's not that you can't find a job, but you can't find a job that satisfies you. If you can lower the conditions of satisfaction appropriately, naturally you won't have a job. Can't find a job.
