Employment

Knowing that we can only be employed on a year-to-year basis and our contracts can't be renewed, and we have to do 2 months of break after every job contract ends, I always ask myself: am I really financially able to support a team of committed people to support my after-job vision?

There are a few ways to improve our situation:


- Enrol in a degree course. A degree is better than nothing, even if it's expensive. More so, if employers ask you, "do you intend to have a degree in near future"?

- Work on more stuff that feeds us, i.e. freelance projects related to our skills and current job, to add into our portfolio.

- For all other things that stop us from improving our situation, no matter how hopeful or comfortable they may sound to us, we cut them off and we don't engage them.

That's why I do a degree (despite hating it), work on freelance business consulting in school (despite me not being good at it) and not be too bothered with my lack of pay, societal standing or friends. After all, everyone is facing the same stresses as I do. If I can't do my best, then well, I have to accept a worse outcome than my peers - but it's alright, because I did my best.
