Work is essential to survive and takes a huge chunk of our lives. In the past, it was quite common to have one job for your entire life,
however
, time seems to be changing. I think having several earning streams will be a new normal in near future, which will Linking Words
also
require us to keep on learning new skills.
There are numerous benefits to having multiple careers. Linking Words
Firstly
, it gives you a safety net to fall back on, when things go southwards. WIth an extra revenue stream one can have a longer runway to get back on track, should they be fired or laid-off. Linking Words
For instance
, due to covid, my firm had to let go of half of their staff, which caused distress in my team lead's life due to not having any backup option. Linking Words
Lastly
, having multiple competencies from different careers means better options in the market. Plenty of companies today prefer to hire people who are resourceful and proficient in multiple areas.
While there are plenty of advantages of having multiple careers, it can only be achieved with continuous learning. Linking Words
To begin
with, today more knowledge means more value. Be it college or a work interview, everyone gives importance to the extra credits and expertise. Linking Words
For example
, I landed my Linking Words
first
job solely because I knew how to code with HTML and CSS, which are quite rare skills for a backend engineer. Linking Words
Additionally
, more experience means better earning opportunities. To illustrate, a friend of mine, who learned chess as a hobby, got a student to teach a few years back and now he trains several students for chess tournaments along with his full-time job.
In conclusion, I think, as for a career is concerned, keeping all your eggs in one basket could be a disaster. Linking Words
Moreover
, being a Jack of all trades can increase your chances of creating more revenue streams and becoming less dependent on a particular employer.Linking Words
