25 years old, awkward age, living a seemingly stress-free life. And I have been doing the job that many people envy, that is, the job that people often say is "close to home, with little work and more money". The infighting workplace and complicated interpersonal relationships seem to be far away from me. As soon as I entered the unit after graduation, I didn't feel the helplessness of not finding a job, nor did I feel the hard-won work.
For three years, I have been living such a tepid life. ......
Colleagues around me are old employees in their forties. They have families and children. Some of them got married early and their children have gone to college. Their task has been completed. Just go to work and wait for retirement. Some get married late and their children are still in primary school. Besides going to work, they have to worry about their children's transportation to school and their studies. They like to talk about trivial things at home, and I usually listen quietly, as if I were learning from experience and understanding their middle-aged life from a few words.
When I first came here, I seemed to feel that this kind of working environment was quite suitable for myself who liked to be quiet, and there was no pressure to complete the task. I just repeat some simple tasks step by step every day, and lead the occasional inspection and examination, which will not make us panic, because we all have to deal with it.
Everyone seems to be used to this kind of work. Closed environment, stress-free greenhouse, employees have no fighting spirit. I looked at them with a straight face, and my mind flashed by, and I saw my life decades later.
Behind the seemingly relaxed, I began to panic.
The major in university is completely corresponding to this job, but in case I leave the company one day, I will take this diploma to apply for a job in any company in the society, which is not competitive and there is no vacancy, because my major is not needed at all. Unless, I am willing to stay in my present unit all my life and hold this so-called "iron rice bowl".
However, people are unwilling! Especially when you don't really understand this society at all, you will rely on your own imagination and lack of cognition to try to understand this society. No matter how earnestly others dissuade you, no matter whether you throw cold water intentionally or unintentionally, you will still ignite a faint fire in your heart.
It seems that only when people reach the end of the road will they start to work hard. When I am holding a salary of several thousand dollars a month, but I have to pay back a loan of several thousand dollars, I feel a lot of pressure in my chest and I can't breathe. In the worst two months, my period ran away because I thought too much. In those hard nights, I kept my eyes open all night and couldn't sleep.
What I think about most is two words-making money!
It is impossible to solve practical problems by relying on dead wages, but a fixed monthly salary can ensure that my repayment on schedule will not be overdue. However, I have just worked for three years and I haven't saved any money myself. Without savings, I feel the fear of being swallowed up by reality at any time.
I regret that I didn't study financial management well. I should set aside a small amount as a reserve fund for crisis savings on a regular basis every month. It's really bad to be a "negative woman" in advance when the salary card has been hollowed out to borrow money!
Besides working, how can I make money?
So I began to seriously think about my strengths and specialties. Fortunately, I am still a woman with a little talent. I worked as a host in college, and my Mandarin is acceptable. After I entered the company, I participated in some host competitions and speech competitions, and gradually emerged in the competitions, and began to serve as the host of various activities of the company. The ability of presiding has been recognized by leaders and colleagues. I seem to think it can also be used as a way to make money. Can you get a job as a host and earn some extra money?
However, it seems that it is not that simple to preside over this work, and it is even more difficult for a person like me who has become a monk halfway. People sponsored by professional colleges are fighting to the death. What's an amateur host doing? To tell the truth, it's a bit of a retreat before it starts. However, seeing the embarrassment of being "stretched" after repaying the loan every month, I still gritted my teeth and started the road of trusteeship.
I asked a senior who is a wedding emcee to find out about the market of hosting this business, and I also want to know whether my level is suitable for hosting. I don't know if the seniors are comforting me or if the status quo of this industry is like this. He broke my inferiority complex that I am not a professional host. Tell me if I can be a host, not only because of your professional background, but also because of your professional level. As long as your hosting ability passes, it's easy to come out and pick up a few.
To be honest, I was really at a loss about the wedding emcee industry. Although I have often attended friends' weddings in recent years, and I have seen many emcees at the scene, I never thought that I could stand on the stage as an emcee to complete such a solemn ceremony for a couple. The seniors constantly dispelled my concerns, patiently taught me the skills of the host, and let me try to write the host words. As the saying goes, "the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual." I have a little talent and understanding, and I have a little understanding. I seem to believe that I can be a good master of ceremonies.
Maybe god saw my efforts. Just after I was ready to make all the preparations for the master of ceremonies, my college roommate suddenly sent a message saying that I was getting married! My first reaction was not a blessing, but a master of ceremonies! Before I could ask, she spoke in advance. Yes, she wants to invite me to be the master of ceremonies at her wedding. I am both happy and a little worried at the news. I'm worried that if it's my first time as a master of ceremonies, I'll leave imperfect memories for her wedding.
It seems that all the worries are unnecessary. After my constant practice, I have reached the level of qualified emcee, and I have completed the emcee task on my roommate's wedding day. Seeing a couple on the stage happily enter the marriage hall with the blessing of all relatives and friends, as the master of ceremonies, I feel a sense of happiness that I have never felt before.
After the first attempt, I began to like this happy job. Under the introduction of my seniors, I got some jobs as a host. Although there is not much work every month, and it is also divided into off-seasons, I can earn money on my own, which makes me have new expectations for the future!
At the age of 25, I don't want to be washed away by the torrent of reality and live a life of "boiling frogs in warm water". I don't want to just watch the difficulties coming and not actively fight back. Although I have a stable salary and don't worry about not eating this meal, I can't guarantee how long this stability will accompany me.
Before I was completely carried away by ease, I began to plan ahead and consider the new development direction and way out for myself in five or ten years. Everything is moving in change, but as human beings, why can't we change ourselves to survive and know that we need to cater to the changes in the environment?
If you think of escaping when you find yourself facing an unchangeable situation, you may have missed the best time to leave, leaving you only a frog boiling in "warm water" to keep you boiling slowly. ......
So, what we have to do now is two simple words-desperately!
Desperately spend time on improving your ability; Desperately looking for something to exercise yourself; Struggle hard for your second new world; Desperately create a future for yourself that others can't imagine! Can't say tired, also can't say bitter!
Because this is an era that is unwilling and unwilling to let go. ......
