Why is sideline gradually becoming the urgent demand of young people?

First of all, in today's society, with the continuous improvement of social productivity, contemporary material life has been enriched, and people pursue the improvement of material living standards, so the cost of living is getting higher and higher, and the main business can no longer support the basic living expenses. Even if its original main business is stable enough, it will naturally embark on the road of opening up a sideline.

Second, broaden your possibilities. Now the main business is becoming more and more involved, so you need to constantly improve your work skills and enrich and improve various qualification certificates. Therefore, young people should rely on their main business and develop feasible sideline businesses. In addition, learning new skills can help them learn more skills, which will be a powerful way to distinguish themselves from their competitors in technology, social life, communication and sales.

Finally, people have more spiritual pursuits. Compared with the previous era of extreme scarcity, it is no longer the only requirement for the new generation after 00 or even 10 to grow up in such a material-rich environment, work stably and earn more money. Interest-oriented, self-realization-oriented, and pursuing independent, flexible, independent and diversified work have gradually become the sideline direction of a new generation of young people.

First, in contemporary society, the cost of living is getting higher and higher, and the income from main business is not enough to support the basic living expenses.

With the continuous improvement of social productivity, contemporary material life has been enriched, which naturally leads to the increase of living costs. People pursue the improvement of material living standards, and there are more and more expenditure items in their lives. So compared with before, people's living expenses have increased a lot.

Because of the regional differences in economic development, more and more people flow to regional central cities with more developed economies. Especially the first generation of people who came to settle in the city, whether buying a house or renting a house or other basic living costs are much higher than their hometown.

This will inevitably lead to the main business income is not enough to maintain their living expenses, even if their original main business is stable enough. Like the central enterprises, state-owned enterprises, civil servants, institutions, etc. in the system, although the wages are enough to eat and live, the living security is low. But there is basically no reserve funds to deal with some emergencies or buy big items.

For example, you have to accompany money for weddings and funerals, invite friends back to parties, be hospitalized due to illness or injury, temporarily lose or lose your salary, buy a house and buy a car, and so on. Obviously, it is difficult to solve these things in life only by the salary of the main business.

So it is natural for someone to start a sideline business, which is actually a natural idea. People who have experienced it can naturally understand the hardships and helplessness.

A, a high school classmate, finished her master's degree in a 985 university in Beijing. She successfully applied to a state-owned enterprise as soon as she graduated. In the first three years of his work, he was single, and his salary was just enough for renting a house and basic living expenses.

Three years have passed, and since I got married and had children and got a loan to buy a house, my salary has been increasingly stretched. Both husband and wife are moonlight families, and even occasionally there will be financial deficits.

So, in his spare time, he learned a skill, took some private jobs appropriately, and successfully opened up his own sideline. This will make the family's economic situation better and not be too nervous.

Second, material conditions are no longer so scarce, and people have more spiritual pursuits.

If family of origin is ordinary, the first generation of people who travel in the city, get married and have children, out of desperation for life, seek a sideline to supplement more living expenses. Then, for those who have no obvious pressure to survive, are well-off and have enough wages in their main business, they may not be forced to seek a sideline to make a living.

Now our material living conditions can be said to be getting better and better, and we are no longer short of food and clothing. Gone are the days when material conditions were extremely scarce. Although there are still few families that eat and wear famous brands, it is a recognized fact that there are indeed many more families that have no worries about food and clothing in the past.

It is no longer the only requirement for a new generation of people who have grown up in such a rich material environment to have a stable job and earn more money. Interest-oriented, self-realization-oriented, and pursuing independent, flexible, independent and diversified work have gradually become the sideline direction of a new generation of young people.

One of my students, B, stayed in a public institution in a third-tier city after graduating with a master's degree. He works in an orderly way, his work is relatively easy, his salary is stable, and his family bought him a full house locally. It stands to reason that he doesn't have any pressure to survive and doesn't need to rely on sideline to subsidize his living expenses.

But he told me that all the colleagues in the unit were in a dull state, and he felt that there was neither reward nor sense of accomplishment for his efforts. Because I like photography, after spending tens of thousands of dollars to buy some basic equipment, I opened a photography studio in my home, took some real photos for others, went out to take some weddings, and took some private work for post-editing.

Although he is not very professional and doesn't make any money at this stage, he enjoys it himself. I am often too busy to eat or rest on time, but I feel very fulfilled and fulfilled. In his view, the sideline of photography and videotaping can give him a sense of value and accomplishment.

As for making money on the sideline, he told me, "This is not urgent, take your time. After waiting for a long time, the technology has become more professional, and the doorway of this line has been clearly understood. Making money is a matter of time. "

It can be seen that in today's era, some people just need a sideline, whether from the material level of their livelihood or from the spiritual level of pursuing personal value. At the same time, I also believe that with the continuous improvement of productivity, in the future society, the latter will increasingly need spiritual sideline.
