Not a job but a internship that recently ended.
Helping Ex-entrepreneurs with getting their administration right and filling taxes for them (with them). The unfortunate thing is that they’re usually heavily in debt, varies between 15k to 80k.
After we help them, they can go into an official project - to help them pay the debt for 3 years and the rest will be waived.
However the interesting part is majority of these people refuse to actually participate well. Often not coming to appointments, refusing to pick up calls or text back. Even though what we do is free. They don’t have to pay anything for our help.
The amazing thing is whenever we actually manage to help people, some of them really show gratitude. Such as baking stuff for us, purchase cake and such. One time, a woman even cried out of gratitude and another time told me his life story which was wild (as in nearly died but stayed alive).
It was an stressful but very interesting internship.
