What kind of job would you choose if you didn't have to work nine to five?

Recently, I read a book "Practice Dreams Every Day", which deeply touched me and made me have more ideas about my work. Limited by many factors such as environmental knowledge, many people's lives are like a script that has been arranged for a long time. They work step by step and get old step by step. They may never know that there are so many different ways to live in life. And those who break through the conventional shackles and open their eyes early to the so-called point of no return live more and more wonderful lives and finally become enviable. I interviewed some so-called different friends around me, and I hope their experiences can give you some inspiration.

Pepe, the owner of the dance studio

My college roommate Pepe went to Suzhou to work for a while soon after graduation. According to her, sitting on the same bus every day, eating the cake made by the same aunt downstairs in the company and doing the same job is really boring. Finally, after more than a year of anxiety and hesitation, I resigned and went back to my hometown to start a business and opened my own dance studio. It is always difficult to start a business alone. From only one student to 50 students and now 100 students, I can't imagine the bitterness behind it. However, she said, it seems that she has entered the same cycle. Every day, she either attends classes at home or practices dancing in the dance studio. She just repeats what she likes and is still happy. Of course, Pepe also wants to share with you that every job is very hard, only a little bitter, because you see the goal and direction clearly and you are willing to eat. You eat bitter, eggs seem useless. Well, I can see that the lovely girl who has been practicing dancing silently in school has really grown up a lot in this year.

Health Manager Xiao Min

What kind of job is a good job? What kind of work is worth doing? I really like it. I can help others, even save others, and I can get a reward of my own. I am altruistic first, then selfish. This is the answer given by my former colleague Xiao Min. Because of his love for freedom, he also inadvertently set foot in the big health industry. After leaving the company, Xiao Min became a national registered health manager. The following is her daily work: get up in the morning to look at the physical data of customers who lose weight, understand the reasons for the fluctuation of customer data, then guide the next diet and exercise plan, track and guide customers' diet three times a day, and give reasonable suggestions. Of course, the team will also hold small salons on a regular basis, and capable Xiao Min students will occasionally guest host or even lecture. She came to Shanghai to attend the sharing meeting last month, and we took time to meet her. Xiao Min looks more energetic, and his words are full of recognition and expectation for his new job. I'm happy for her! Oh, by the way, Xiao Min opened his studio in Nanjing this month. The name is "Kailai Taste". You can go and sit down!

Chang Jun, a multi-professional slash youth.

White and beautiful, I'm Chang Jun, a young woman with standard diagonal lines. One of Chang Jun's occupations is the marketing manager of beauty brand China, the kind of mobile office. In addition, she also transformed her house into a homestay, rented it on airbnb, posted her skills on the travel app, and made friends while making money. She is a photographer, a tourist and a video expert ... Because there are too many hobbies, Comrade Chang Jun's life experience is actually nothing to envy, but she just goes to Australia for the New Year, goes to Paris for a cup of tea, goes to Taiwan Province Province for an exhibition in a daze, and goes to Chiang Mai for leisure.

Don, the designer.

I have always felt that there are several skills in the world that are most suitable for making money, such as writing, such as drawing. Xiaowen clear soup (you want me to call you a male god, no way! ) Because I like art, I have been serializing illustrations on the Internet since I was in college. Up to now, I have accumulated 2000 fans, relying on the weak strength of die-hard fans, and continue to make a terrible list of commercial illustrations. Alas, poor little celebrity with no traffic! Do you think don is really miserable? No! As a smart young man, Mr. Tang doesn't think there is anything wrong with nine to five. His first job was as a space designer of a famous clothing brand, and his second job was as a graphic designer of a restaurant. As for commercial illustration, it is also the inevitable result of interests ... practice technology with time and exchange technology for money. During the day, Mr. Tang actually works from nine to five like most office workers, but after work, frankly speaking, he contributes to his favorite illustration career. Well, although what Mr. Tang said is very casual and simple, I think he is glowing.

Feng Ming, account.

This post-95 fairy is not an office worker in the traditional sense, because she works at home most of the time and occasionally goes to the company to sleep until she wakes up naturally. Come on, we despise her for three seconds! The fairy said that she chose this job because of its freedom. As a standard night owl, sleeping late is just a need of life. If you have nothing to do, you don't have to worry about the boss telling you to go back to work. You can let yourself go at any time! Everyday work is dealing with major cosmetics brands. As you know, Estee Lauder, Shiseido, Lancome, L 'Occitane and Barabara are all her clients. Think about it and you will be very happy! Will such a job pay low? Well, consulting industry, what do you think? I won't disclose the details, hahahaha. After learning about Fairy's work, I really want to ask, Fairy, will your company be short of people then?

Little whale, travel experiencer

A 97-year-old fresh meat that has been broadcast live in the crater. Although I just graduated, I have many labels on my body. I am a travel experiencer, surfer and diver, and I have turned myself into a company. Does Fan You, the overbearing president? It is said that the body and soul must have one on the road. During school, the little whale spent most of her part-time income on travel, occasionally put stories on social platforms, and gradually accumulated the first wave of indigenous powder. I have played more and thought more. Try to sign up for online travel experience activities with a free mind, and finally get some opportunities in countless blows, and slowly knock on the career door of making money while playing, and become a legendary professional travel experiencer. You have to ask what the little whale is busy with now. He has started to open the gap? Years, envy me!

Freelancer Yi Yun.

Not all freelancers look relaxed, at least not Miss Yun. Miss Yun, who worked hard in Beijing for several years and returned to Nanjing, found it difficult to find the company she really liked and could not adapt to the professional atmosphere in Nanjing, so she stumbled into the field of customization under the introduction of friends. Miss Yun is a public relations background, persistent and serious. No matter how big the case is, she did it herself. She goes to the factory to learn her craft almost every week, and it is common for her to shuttle from one city to another in the middle of the night. She also had the experience of being stopped by a police uncle to check her driver's license in the morning, but that was only because she promised her customers that she would show them samples the next day. Of course, all the hard work is worth it. In more than a year, our unsuccessful girl has become a very powerful unsuccessful boss. I asked Miss Yun what her biggest dream was in the future. She said that she hoped that one day she could truly realize financial freedom, travel around the world with love, parents, children and dogs, and try her best to help people in need during her journey. I think I am too.

Old cat, coffee roaster

An old cat is actually a friend of a friend. At first glance, she felt cold, smoking a cigarette sexily in her left hand, and her alienated expression was a bit sloppy and cool to life. When we started talking, we found that she was actually very nice. Of course, her story is as cool as she looks. Before that, she had been traveling between Yangzhou and Dali, working as a coffee roaster in two ancient cities. There is no nine-to-five job, only romance. In addition to my own interests, being a coffee roaster has another advantage: working hours are not fixed, and I can have a holiday at any time when my interests come, ride a small electric donkey around the lake, or take pictures with my photographer friends, or even drink all night without thinking. It's good to be young! How nice it is to be free!

By the way, the old cat also made a short film. If you are interested in her story, please click on the documentary || City Affairs.

Is it really easy to work outside of nine to five? Maybe, maybe not.

People who choose to start a business are already facing the pressure of work from the moment they wake up, and this pressure is not from nine to five, but from eight to ten ... They work longer, but because they firmly believe in the light in their hearts, the working hours don't seem long.

Freedom is the greatest benefit for those who choose mobile office and irregular working hours. They are exquisite pig girls and enviable energetic boys. Don't ask others to understand, but ask for a clear conscience.

Those who choose to be slash youth are no longer satisfied with the sense of accomplishment brought by a single career. Many careers go hand in hand, and life becomes a poem and a word. This is probably what many young people yearn for now.

Of course, writing this article doesn't mean that it's not good to work from nine to five, but that everyone loves freedom. Before his ability is reached, he is practicing slowly and dreaming of practicing every day. So, you are young, you still have enough time to take risks, you still can't find the direction, but you are restless about life. Try bravely, or it will be too late.

The world is too big for us to imagine.
