• One-on-one and online tutorials (sometimes at the same time)

I have nothing against tutors and I have lived off being a tutor for 2 years. I just know that I cannot keep at it for too long. I get antsy, bored, and frustrated -- and that's not even the worse bit. The thing is, it shows and kids get worse because of that. I can do big classes and talks because they don't require intimate interaction with people -- you won't have time to talk to each and everyone, I'm telling you. Plus, the energy is amazing! Probably because it comes from not just one or two people but even tens of unique persons. So yeah, that's why.

  • Call center work

Again, I have nothing against call center agents. It's just not for me -- and that's judging from the fact that I've already applied to two companies and didn't get past the application part. I just couldn't stomach the idea of giving up my education for work (with the premise that "I work to be able to study"). I guess I've chosen the (no, it's not harder) path less taken by working students.

  • Content/Niche writer

Okaaaay, here's the thing. I love writing, reading, and telling stories (or lies) from the top of my head but I just can't write good niche articles. I can tell you that it's because I haven't found good topics yet but that's just bullshit. I can make up stories about FedEx in an instant (even with required keywords) but I can't write articles worth shit about it. MY WRITING JUST DOESN'T SELL. I better stop fooling myself about it and find another job before I pull all my hair out in frustration.
