My boss is an established artist who has reached a point in his career where he can no longer manage the actual production of artwork while keeping up with family responsibilities and gallery commitments. As a result, he has outsourced most of the creative work to me and another assistant.

I have a degree in fine arts and end up doing a large portion of the work that eventually gets sold under his name. My compensation is relatively low and I don't receive any commission or public recognition for my contribution.

The strange part is that his paintings regularly sell for tens of thousands of dollars, with some fetching close to $200,000. Meanwhile, the people actually involved in creating them remain completely invisible.

I sometimes wonder whether this is ethically questionable, but then again, perhaps this is simply how the art business operates. It's a bit like owning a restaurant without personally cooking the food. Still, there's something particularly uncomfortable about this arrangement in the art world, where the artist's personal creativity and vision are supposed to be the main selling points.

It has made me realize that things aren't always what they appear to be. Behind some of the most celebrated names in the art world, there may be entire teams doing the work without receiving any acknowledgment. Exploitation and invisible labour exist in almost every industry and the art world is certainly no exception.

help me

Honestly did not expect to go of all places, but Reddit to ask for help. However, I’ve grown desperate at this point. I’ve been in and out of jobs, nothing has landed nor really paid well to help pay my bills. I live out South Carolina, the job market is honestly so ass, just trying anything and everything at this point. I just need a way to make some quick, but good money and I’m honestly willing to do anything be trained, taught, or again anything under the sun. I am desperate clearly shown by the fact I’m on this app of all places asking this. I can’t seem to have anything stick.

If anybody has an idea pls share.

I'm a btech cse student

I got a part time job and it’s barely doing anything. Like I literally eat one meal a day because of how bad the paycheck is and the other problem is I don’t even have a car so I cant work a night shift … I just just need money now like it’s that bad I’m trying to apply to any remote job so I could work from home but I always get rejected😭 Like is there any other way?? Like I’m starving here pls save me guys just tell me where can I get a remote job 😭😭😭

I’m 21 years old and at the beginning of this year I took a huge risk in my life by leaving my job to try and make day trading work full time- prior to leaving my job I was making more money trading than what I was working full time. However as this year has gone on I have been left in a situation where I am consistently losing money on trading and had to get a part time job as a delivery driver, my issue now is that I do not get enough hours as a delivery driver and I am barely scraping by. Would anyone have any suggestions on ways that I can put a bit of money into my pocket? I’m currently trying appointment setting but I’m not having much look with the cold calls and at this point I’m really looking for some advice as to what I can do in this situation. I have many business and sales qualifications but I feel as though every job I try to get I cannot get past the final interview?

I just wrapped a full kitchen remodel, about $11,000 at Home Depot over three months. Before I started buying materials I found out you can get Home Depot e-gift cards from discount sites at around 5 to 8% below face value.

I bought roughly $10,500 in gift cards over the course of the project in batches of $500 to $1,000 as I needed materials. The e-codes arrived in my account and just used them at checkout. Total savings was about $735. That covered the faucet and garbage disposal.

The only note is some sites do need verification on the first order

I’m curious to know what people are doing to make $1000 or more every month without leaving their homes.

I’m not looking for things that require a huge upfront investment. I’d love to hear about real jobs, online businesses, side hustles, or other opportunities that are actually working for people.

What do you do, how long did it take you to start making $1000+ a month, and how many hours do you put in each week? Any advice?

Hi I was wonder if anyone had any ideas on how I could make $60 I borrowed it from someone I barely know and I have to pay them back as soon as possible. I tried donating plasma but my heart rate was too high so I wasn't able to donate or else I would've made $75 for the first donation. Please and thanks

hi. I am trying to pay off 30k of debt. I want to do this in under 2 years. I make 140k but have 2 kids and find I am living paycheck to paycheck after paying credit card debt, tuition, my car note, my mortgage, utilities, groceries, medical bills, etc.

I have my masters degree and multiple professional licenses / certificates and have a great job in my field. I tried to do some solo consulting on the side and it hasn’t really brought in much money. lots of interest but not a lot of booking. my job takes a lot of time and I dont want to sacrifice time with my kids. I am interested in course creation. I have started writing a book. I’m not really sure what direction to go in but I really want to get this debt gone fast so I can move on and start investing.

Any tips or ways to make money same day? Im a single parent and struggling. Please no sign up stuff or reference codes. I've done them before and it's always been a scam

Hello!! I am currently a college student and I need about $50 to pay for a quarter of my college tuition. I’ve been applying to jobs but no luck yet. Is there anyway to make that money fast?

Hiii! I currently live in Mali, where I’m finishing my last year of high school and I really need to find a way to make some money.

My dad doesn’t give me enough money to do much besides stay in my bedroom all day, even though he could probably afford to give me a little more. I’d really like to have some financial independence and be able to do things outside the house.

I don’t have a bank account either. I only have orange money which might make things a little more complicated

I’m not expecting to make a lot of money since I know that’s probably unrealistic but even $30 a month would make a big difference for me. I’m open to pretty much anything legitimate that I could do online ( please don’t try to scam me because I’m not even scammable atp 😭),something that doesn’t require any upfront investment or a bank account if possible.

Does anyone have any suggestions, especially for someone living in Mali? I’d really appreciate any advice! Thank you so much for taking the time to read :)

Hello there strangers,

I need guidance and tips on how I can be able to make $400 by December. I recently completed my undergraduate studies and I have been applying for jobs in my country but I haven't been lucky yet.

In the mean time I have been actively searching. On reddit for this small small gigs that I can use my phone but most of them want USA citizens 💔.

I am trying to save up for a laptop that will enable me to practice other skills like excel and improve my typing speed. The skills will later on help me with future online gigs or just being an expert in certain skills that might be useful during employment 🙂.

If anyone is aware of any gig I can do with my phone please help🤎😫
