Theme: cooler than expected

Rules: no NSFW and has to be a snap you took yourself.

I think we should make themes optional so if you have a pic you want to post that doesn’t fit, you still can, what does everyone else think?

    So you should, “entrepreneurship” is a Big Kids word! 😄

    I hear you on the pay cheque. Preferably from a large organization.

    As far as I can see being an author in NZ is not what to do if you want money, it’s more a side thing done by people who already have good jobs.

      I’ve heard it’s the same for the top kiwi musicians, the famous-in-NZ kiwi artists ain’t retiring on their money.

      Large organisations are a great place to work. You can get job because they take on 10 people at a time so you only have to be the 10th best candidate, they have professional development, and you get the opportunity to trial roles or build skills via sharing with other areas of the organisation.

      There are downsides but I prefer it to some owner operator boss who thinks you have to do whatever he says.

        That’s another plus about organizations, while they may also think you have to do whatever they say, they’re more realistic about what that is because it has likely already been tested in court.

          Haha yes, I’m a bit of a job hopper so people tend to not try to tell me what to do. Definitely seen people who dread the thought of a new job be taken advantage of, though.
