Star at the Bar: New Job! I'm fairly sure!

[OdinHades]

I could never hold onto any job. The longest time I could endure at a single occupation was a little more than a year. That was at Mc Donald's. It's not that I have a problem with the work itself. Especially in the kitchen I have a lot of fun. But I have a real issue with authorities. Everytime someone wants to tell me how to do my job I get really pissed off. I was never fired mind you. I always quit by myself. I guess it must be the consequence of the anti-authoritarian education I enjoyed. Or something. I also dropped out of the Bundeswehr after just a month. No way some Hauptmann can tell me what to do and what not to do! Screw dat! xD

Anyway, now I'm working as a freelancer since almost 6 years and I'm loving it! When I started in 2011 I had real problems. I almost didn't get any clients at all. Nobody knew me, so nobody wanted me. The poor souls who decided to give me a job paid me next to nothing. For example I wrote a book about the ketogenic diet. A whole friggin' book with 121 pages, with all the research involved it took me 2 months to finish. I got a whopping 250 € for that, lol. So I lived from 125 € a month in that time. =D

It got a whole lot better in the coming years. Today I can quite comfortably just pick my contracts. I have so many requests that I can't possibly take them all. I already thought about recruiting someone else, but all the hassle with hiring someone in germany holds me back. Payment also is a shitload better today. I come along just fine and I worked hard to get where I am. Wouldn't want it to be any other way.

Anyway, this probably isn't the right place to talk about it. for the OP, I wish you the best of luck, hope you like the new job. I myself wouldn't even be so concerned about the money. It never was a deciding factor for me. When I worked in the kitchen as a cook, I got next to nothing but I didn't care because my job was so much fun. Also today I would prefer writing an article about video games over anything else, even when I get less money for it. but maybe that's just me.
