You probably won't believe it, but when I used to be a simple individual of the legacy system, most of the work that I've done to be able to make a living I was actually hating it. I worked anything from a salesperson to construction worker, mailman... you name it.
I would have to blame all of that on my lack of direction which originated in my full of alcohol and parties teenage years. I'm still not very well "directed" today either, but at least I'm not forcing myself in doing anything I don't like in order to be able to make a living.
You would be surprised to find out how many individuals around the world are working a job they actually literally hate or are forced to do that in most cases because they're in debt, and how just very few have the power to cut the cords of such slavery and just switch to something they love doing and fulfills them.
I met with a close friend of mine yesterday. I haven't seen her for a couple of years I guess. She lives in Belgium for probably a decade now and she only comes to Romania once or twice a year or so, but we don't meet every time she comes around.
She used to be in such a position of hating what she was doing as a profession for quite a few years, but all of that is a thing of the past. Now she's working as an English teacher at some school in Bruxelles, she invited me there as well, and also told me that there's a huge demand for such teachers.
Why you would ask... Well, someone's heaven might sometimes be another person's hell. According to her statement, it seems that since covid got spread all over the world and we've gone through the shitty pandemic we had there has somehow begun an awakening for the working class.
People are not as desperate to work "anything" anymore as they were just a few years ago. Many of these English teachers in Bruxelles have quit their jobs en masse over the past couple of years and started new careers that they actually love.
Her boyfriend was a banker, until like one year or so ago, and now he's working as a gardener and planning on making his own gardening company. He was passionate about gardening ever since he was a teenager, but school, parents, and society have somehow managed to push him toward the banking sector.
Bankers probably earn better than gardeners do and as a banker, you also have a different status. We're going through some shift lately, the way I see it. It probably has to do with the remote work that has been promoted for the past few years as well and some individuals seem to have had enough and looking for different ways of making a living. Something that's not just putting food on the table.
I am personally "scared" of the idea of getting back in the system and working some regular shitty job. I'm also somehow grateful that I can still earn "something" through Hive and my hopes are we will soon get out of the bear market so I can be more secure in terms of my personal finances.
I love happy life stories, though, I'm not much of a fan of happy ending ones, thus I was happy to find about some peeps I know who have managed to ditch the stressful jobs they had and switched to more fullfiling ways of earning a living. I bet that if everyone would love what they do, life on this planet would be much more vibrant and meaningful. It is possible to accomplish that, but we need many others to be "awaken".
Crypto sure has the ability to push the norms in that regard.
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian
