Having decided that I not only don't want to be a corporate wage slave living out my days in an office, but that I also don't want any serious commitments this year as I'm planning on doing my Master's next year, a compromise had to be found. If I did take up full time employment, I'd have to give it up in exactly one year's time anyway. There's also the lengthy Master's and Scholarship application processes that I need to dedicate time to, so, all in all, the task was to find both something I wanted to do and something that I could do part-time.
Would you believe, I found it?
Well, them to be precise. I've managed to scramble together 3 different job title that not only pay the bills, but are also right up my street. Who knew that hard work actually paid off eh? The titles are as follows:
- Freelance writer and researcher
- Senior Editor
- Private Tutor
How, I don't know, but those are some pretty impressive looking titles. The tutoring as you can imagine is for primary and early secondary school children with pushy parents, who want their children to 'catch up' (read: get ahead). Who knew that imparting knowledge and explaining things could be so easy.
My inflated editor title has been bestowed upon me by a start-up graduate recruitment company. We're essentially collaborating to make the best blog since sliced bread, and I couldn't be more excited. As you've probably guessed by now, I really like blogging, and one of my aims in life is to become a writer. One of the many few aims I should add. A step in the right direction methinks.
My freelance work is actually about China too - how crazy is that? A Chinese focused company that specialises in attracting Chinese customers for luxury travel and retail companies needs freelancers. One of them is me.
#winning.
