Working Decisions.....
So my current 'regular' top-up income job is quite cushty... it involves driving around the countryside doing short interviews with what seems to be zero pressure on the response rate.
Moreover I really don't get many interviews. The vast majority of the time I drive somewhere and either no one is in or I get told to F off, usually politely, again my employer seems MOST unconcerned about the lack of responses.
For this very easy job I get paid about £40K a year FTE once I factor everything in.
NB I only work every other week, there is scope for more, but I've been doing less, I have been tempted to up my hours and make hay while the sun shines!
It's freelance, and come to think of it just now it's probably more than that as I get holiday pay on top.
The downsides of this job are basically six fold...
- There's no sense of purpose. There is literally no value in what i do.
- I kind of can't believe it's going to carry on like this! This is firmly in the too good to be true category.
- There is no job security, it's Freelance, sometimes there may be no work.
- There's no prospects, no future.
- Lots of driving, new roads - accident risk
- There is a slight chance of being mauled by dogs.
However at the end of the day it's easy money for relatively easy work.
A new job opportunity...
Today I noticed an ad for a part-time job with Citizens Advice. It's 2-3 days a week (successful candidate chooses), it's basically the same tasks as was associated with my recent volunteering role, so I have a good chance of getting it, but it's much worse paid. It's £24K pro-rata, that's low pay already, but it's almost half of what I'm earning ATM...
But the upsides are basically the opposite of what's above...
- Lots of purpose - helping people.
- Massive job security - well, it's only for a year funded this post, but once you've got one roll, you're on a role!
- There's lots of future prospects - I'm considering doing a Masters in social policy anyway, this touches on housing, benefits, migration, LOTS!
- I can walk there! No driving time.
- It's safe!
Final thoughts...
I think I've just talked myself into applying for a job that pays half as much as what I'm earning ATM.
It's just the sense of purpose, progress and security.
And combined with my other incomes, it's easily enough to live off!
I mean I might not get it, but I think it's worth a go!

Wouldn't it be possible to do both jobs at the same time?
It doesn't quite work out unfortunately!
Let's delve into the Builda whale farm on the Hive, Gogreenbuddy, who is also colloquially known as the Marky mark USAINVOTE UPMYVOTE IPROMOTE and 100's more if not thousands this individual has asserted that his intentions behind this initiative are driven by a desire to contribute positively to the community. Now, let's explore what he is earning on a monthly basis from this venture. income is said to be generated through the use of multiple alternative accounts, which he utilizes to cast votes in favor of his own shit content. The community seems to have mixed feelings about this practice many are scared to speak up.
Are you ready to delve deeper into this topic and uncover more insights? If so, let's proceed. It's time to wake up and gain a clearer understanding of the situation at hand.

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out
We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues
lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming
There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users
Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever

Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE
The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way
Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL
We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

The Hive Police aka Hivewatchers, are the real heroes of Hive LOL, aren't they?
Feast your eyes on Hive's trending page, what a load of trash
LoL it's the Hivewatchers Hive Police, dishing out orders like a bakery LOL! Folks, do what you want with your Hive power, just as you please. And you, Hivewatchers, downvote away, but remember, judgment day's coming
Harry fam We're just here, laughing at the shenanigans on Hive! Sure, our content's getting downvoted, but hey, it's all part of the game LOL

On Hive, there's a user who frequently burns a significant amount of Hive LOL with his own accounts
How To Fool An Entire Population
it's so, so concerning to see Blocktrades delegating 2+ million Hive power to Buildawhale, and Buildawhale is downvoting legitimate content
We began sharing factual information following unwarranted downvotes on Hive it's all in the transactions
Upon examining our posts, you will notice they have been downvoted, and we've been labeled as scammers and spammers, which we find amusing. We consistently share new content
Once again, we ask why is our legit content being downvoted on Hive and what is the reason behind it. Hivewatchers ADM spaminator steemcleaners guiltyparties logic
We have Hive witnesses farming Hive, self-voting, operating comment farms, and self-funding projects with community resources

Sometimes when you accept a job with a lower salary you lose something in money but you gain in many other aspects... And often money is not the most important aspect.
I only know you through the posts you write and the comments we exchange but I confess that it is enough to really have a lot of respect for you, in my opinion you are a very deep and thoughtful person and it would be great to exchange a few words over a good coffee! (only I am very bad with English, lol!)
Oh and then your Avatar is too cool in my opinion!
A Hug!
!PGM
Hey cheers! I do feel that I need a little more. Always up for coffee!
It would make a fantastic coffee and in life they say never say never, right? ;-)
!PGM
Good luck!!
cheers!
There's something to be said for job satisfaction. With all the time we spend working it makes you feel better to have some purpose. I have to wonder how your current one can afford to pay you if they are not that bothered about results. A lot of people just have to take whatever they can get. I'm fairly happy with my job and glad I gave up the old one that was getting me down. The travel was part of that.
I hope you find fulfilment.
It's a constant wonder re the current one - I think the main reason is that no one cares about the results!
