Spent 15 minutes making an Upwork account, but in order to apply for any of the jobs I have to pay money up front? What the fuck?

    Do you also have to pay to clean your screen?

      That’s not even the worst of it, I cropped out the paint splatters.

          That’s the shitbox. It completely lacks a UI and exists solely as terminal + firefox. Installing screenshotting software would be too much effort.

              They’ll change and evolve with time. Dry erase markers work effectively well on a laptop screen.

            Firefox has built in screen shot ability. Right click on page in Firefox should have options for screenshot, although then have the fun of getting it off the box

    That’s most voice over sites. I only know of CastingCallClub that does free use, but the quality and pay of work there is all over the place because it’s a free site.

      I was looking for freelance writing or tutoring. There were some nice educational consulting gigs, but if I had money I wouldn’t be looking for a job!
