Here’s some advice - take it or leave it.
Title companies are laying off people. The real estate industry (builders, suppliers, realty agencies, etc.) are all laying off people. Lenders are down to skeleton crews. Amazon is about to lay off thousands. META (Facebook) is cutting staff by thousands as is Twitter. Zillow had had large layoffs as has Peloton. Netflix is way down. Disney is laying off thousands - DISNEY! It goes on an on. The recession is just beginning. The laid off people will need to get jobs and competition will be fierce. Only the strong survive.
The advice? Well, notary is almost dead. So, if you need income, get a job NOW. By January, there won’t be many jobs available unless you have very specific, highly marketable skills. Notary can always be your side gig so don’t give it up. Let it be kinda dormant for a while unless you’ve got a nice steady stream of notary work that you can do (estates, hospitals, etc.).
It’s gonna get rough out there.
