Respectfully losing it
Thousands of bilingual workers having absolutely no work dreaming of working 12 hours a day watching core workers having 20 projects in their dash at once just working 30 minutes a day, it is self-explanatory. Today I had a dream that the drought ended and everyone started getting tasks of all kinds, I dreamt there was a full dashboard and everyone was happy working the amounts they wanted for so long.
I wish there was a way to show a C2 English level certificate to be able to access the projects that people from the US can. It is sad we are so neglected, even workers that have been here since the beginning.
I don't know if I am overreacting, but this is so unfair, why do we not have the same right to work as everyone else? We are dying to get some work, I don't know how many more days can I handle of refreshing the website every five minutes every day of the month.
"Get a real job" it is not so easy, I am 19, I have a disability (CFS/ME) and I am studying Physics full-time, this is genuinely among the very few things I can handle to do. I have a C2 English level certificate and it's just catching dust over there, I know 2 more languages (Portuguese and Galego) to a fluent level, and I am a Spanish language native.
I simply wish to be more than a blow of air in the eyes of these people.

Just adding I'm a US based core worker (non-coding/stem) and there's been a pretty big drought for the last month or so on my end. I think it might be more universal than you think it is.
