The world has been shaken more than we’ve ever seen before, more than 70 years since World War II. The enemy is different, this is an enemy we can’t see, can’t hear, and can’t build an army against. This is the plague of an epidemic that does not discriminate against race, creed, origin, or color.
Everyone has been affected, from the struggling artists to Hollywood movie stars

This is the first time in human history where the playing field is more even than ever. This presents an incredible opportunity to get ahead while the world has hit the pause button.

This is why you need to be prepared, educated, and ready to jump on the job train as the shining candidate for the post-apocalyptic world. Now is the time to learn and start using those skills online for yourself or companies looking to work virtually for now.
A good idea is to see what jobs are out there and then learn for those specifically.
