I've used outdoor soil sensors from mydevices.com. Once I told them to stop trying to upsell me on the Lora gateways and use Helium, its worked flawlessly.

You two have to figure out #1. For #2, is it really starting to earn or just keeping busy? For me, I am using my skillset to volunteer for nonprofits. I found catchafire.org, which matches volunteers to non-profits, projects they submit. They are happy to have someone to help, you get to work at a comparatively leisurely pace, win-win. It's what's worked for me. There are other platforms like catchafire. Source: 11 months ago

Catchafire.org is a website where non-profits post volunteer opportunities for people with specialized skills. You could get some real-world experience in a sector that may be relevant to your interests—education, the arts, etc.—and potentially a couple of good references for future employers.

I recommend doing a volunteer gig at taprootplus.org or catchafire.org. Great learning experience, remote work, and they are very tolerant of mistakes and learning curves. If you do good, have them give you a recommendation on LinkedIn. Source: about 1 year ago

Look for project coordinator or project officer role; nonprofits/ NGOs seem to be opening such roles quite often. Also, check out catchafire.org (volunteering for nonprofits/ NGOs), good luck. Source: about 1 year ago

I am still trying to break into the industry and I have some confidence issues regarding my ability to do the job. I have always been a more hands-on person so until I can get my hands wet it's hard for me to feel comfortable. I even saw someone recommend catchafire.org and I even feel incapable of doing these volunteer jobs. Source: about 1 year ago
