Has anyone here ever been given a job/gig/paid project by their parents or family acquaintances or your parent's friends? This is like supposed to be an easy way to escape going insane from being idle, but it always goes wrong in my case.

I worked as a general affair staff but quit after 4 months because the job was so un-tech like and i was sick of the high pace and unbearable tempo, nobody ever bothered to teach me anything and each time i try to finish something, it gets written off.

Once a mom's colleague asked me to build a bus ticketing web and app and the deal failed because the company was having trouble with permit or whatever and decide to focus on that first despite me and my buddies already write down the specifications and budget plan and negotiated for like a month

Then another colleague of her asked me to build a Google Drive-like to store and organize bajillion company files, but again the deal failed apart because there was so much red paper involved

Now a dad's colleague asked me to build a company website.

Seems like these gigs are the real kind of projects that motivates and lit a fire under my ass rather than building toy projects nobody gave a shit about. The problem is, even doing these stuff doesn't guarantee immediate money, so i don't know. Maybe I'm just being picky.
