Have you heard about this vicious circle - studying and needing to get a job to pay for it. Not a job on the field of your studies, but a random one. Then, when done with school, you need to keep on working to earn money to pay off depth you got into when you were studying and didn't have time for a full time job. And the easiest is to keep your current position and just increase the hours, despite the job being something that you just do do pay the bills...
So, remember the time, when I told you about the weird stoned waiter and how I met him again few days later after the first time. It was in January of February sometime...well, at the same tiny French restaurant, there was a waiter working. As many of them are like that, so he started asking me where I was from and what was I doing here in Paris...bla-bla-bla.. Then, unlike most of them question-askers, he told me his story too, that he was from Far-Far-Away-Land (I don't really remember from where he was, but let's go for that) and he had graduated from Sorbonne, THE top UNI in FRANCE, studied translation in masters level, French + few other languages. Sooooo, and after 5 years, he was still working at the restaurant that he got the job only to pay the rent while studying. He said it was difficult to find a better job. Sooooooooo, the thin g is. I DO NOT want to end up like that:
And therefore, I need to find a better job right now, one that is al least slightly connected to my field, has perspectives, is fun and pays well. Either in Paris or where ever in the world. Need to figure that out within next few weeks. Wish me luck.
