Way back when I was deciding what I wanted to take in university it was between law and commerce. I actually was looking at family law and my father stated that it was probably not a good choice as I would burn out emotionally from not being able to change what would not be acceptable to me. I think he was right. I went instead into commerce and I have never regretted that. I not only like what I do but I also have been able to be self sufficient. Another really valuable lesson from my father and mother.
I finished uni this summer and I don't have a job yet, but there's an 80-90% chance I will start working as a real estate agent from December.
that is really cool. real estate agents make good money and drive fancy cars. that is a good job, good for you
I do all kinds of weird shit. I'm a freelance writer, I teach yoga and other healing modalities(sometimes I do massage), I work with businesses in their internet marketing campaigns, I'm a health coach usually for free but ocassionally someone pays me for it, I make money from my blog sometimes, I'm a homeschool mom and my daughter is starting her first 3 businesses soon, etc. Sometimes I model. Lots of other weird shit...I hustle, but usually I love it, until I get into some strange limbo where I'm not sure where to focus my energy. I also have a couple websites, but luckily other people's campaigns usually keeps me on track. What I need to do is find the time to publish my own book (I've ghostwritten enough) and create my own yoga video series. I also volunteer for a few organizations which is teaching me how to plan events and market locally. I want to really, really stop freelance writing(which pays the most, easily) and host my own events across the country and be a regularly published and paid poet/writer, it's happening slowly but surely.
Hello, I am a technical writer and a freelance editor. I am also finally starting to see some money from my creative writing, so that's nice.
