Some of the Jobs I’ve Endured in My Life
I've had an extremely long and rather colourful work history, starting a young age I had to learn to be self-sufficient. There was barely enough food to eat at home and definitely no money spare to buy anything considered remotely luxurious..
It all helped though and it helped me mature a lot, mainly in terms of finances it really taught me the value of money and that money isn't easy to come by so don't simple spend it frivolously. I won't list all the jobs as I had as some were temp and lasted a few days or in some cases a few hours...I'll mention those that I find interesting, or somehow relevant in my development.
I think it's something Asian kids generally lack, working, earning money and learning some respect for the value of money. Kids here don't have to contribute to their own studies or cars..they just get given money for free!
How many of you have had part time jobs? If you look at the catering industry here, or manual labour, security guards or factory workers and so on they are mostly foreign workers. All of these jobs are considered to 'low' for locals. You know what? In UK I've done ALL of those jobs.
