Yeah, that's how it looks to be. My aunt does it differently, as she is paid directly by the person she's taking care of. I'm not exactly sure what to suggest to Star, but what I do know is that what he's getting now from them is basically poverty-level pay.

What I'm suggesting is that he should do it like me:

Luck out on education where you get shitty pay for 3 years but get free advanced IT courses to make free certificates. Then continue at that company for slightly less shitty pay and leech more free education and certificates.

After that, get a job offer with pretty good pay but the worst colleagues and job experiences you ever had for 5 months. Quit that job, chill for 3 months and let recruiters search you a better job. Have the recruiters give you two great options, one career option and one stable option, both with better pay than your last shitty job.

Then choose the stable job, have great colleages, a chilled work environment and surf the internet for 6h a day while getting regular raises.

I think that's a pretty good strategy.

Well, I'm not sure if Star's ever going to get to the "luck out" part! There's a reason why it's called luck: it doesn't happen to most people.

I think that his current client is not contiuning on with him. At least that's what I remember. So I think he's trying to decide whether to get a new client or to seek employment elsewhere?

Luck comes to those who work hard.

I had a loooot of great karma pent up from 14 horrible school years. So it's actually not really luck, more like redemption

I'd say that's more of a case of survivorship bias. I don't think that Star's working at a place with shit pay because he doesn't work hard enough!

As far as I understood, he is employed by a company and that client isn't his per se. So I'm assuming that once this client goes he'll get another one assigned from the company.

He's just collecting karma. 

I don't believe in karma personally.

That's good at least! But I hope you'll eventually be able to find a better paying job than that, that's a horrible wage.
