3 Reasons Why It Sucks Working for Rideshare Companies
The huge trend of working for a rideshare company has come to a calm. However, the streets are still saturated with drivers in all major cities. Many drivers do Uber or Lyft full-time and earn a decent living. Other drivers, do it for fun or to earn some extra bucks, hence working part-time. It is these part-timers that probably benefit without having to deal with stress in the long run.

5 Ways Working Retail Can Make You Hate the Holidays
1. You hear the same songs over and over. Every retail store has a certain playlist that plays on repeat 24/7. But as soon as Halloween is over, that playlist turns into a Christmas playlist and you either hear songs by Mariah Carey or some guys from the 1950s. At some point you find yourself singing the songs even though you don't want to. Other times you're just doing your job with a soulless stare and a nosebleed happens. The worst part about the holiday playlist is that it plays for November AND December. Then you start to hear it in your dreams.... "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" distantly echoing in your sleep... you can't escape it.

The Inconsistencies of Creativity
See, I’ve always been a writer. Since I was little and all throughout school, I could write my way through any essay, short story or book report. And have always viewed it as being enjoyable instead of tasking. Writing has unfailingly been a passion of mine, and that passion has only grown as I’ve gotten older. When you’re young, passion and creativity seem never ending. But when you try to make a living off that passion, you soon realize that creativity comes in inconsistent waves. Even when you’re doing what you love, that inconsistency can often leave you frustrated and feeling like a failure.

BHasty Travel
Hello and thank you for your time. My name is Kristen B. Hasty. I am a certified travel agent located in Chicago, IL. I started BHasty Travel service 2 years ago after I enjoyed an island hopping 7 day cruise. We experienced so much in those 7 days. I fell in love with the travel industry and the experiences it has to offer. I also realized that going on vacation was more within my reach than I realized.

Diaries of a Theme Park Employee
The second job I ever had was working for a theme park in the photos department. And while there were good times, there were also moments where I just wanted to melt behind the counter from embarrassment or even just frustration. I remember my first angry and aggressive guest. He was approximately 35 years old and had his wife with him. Working for the photos department required us to know the policies of the department and the park. If a person does anything inappropriate, the photo gets censored. So being the newly trained employee I was, I checked the photo like I was supposed to do. From what I saw, the guy had shot the middle finger at the camera (a censorable offense). Then I waited until I saw the gentleman, who was with his wife and asked him politely and courteously not to do it again. He said that he didn't do it but that's what almost everyone says when they get caught. So I explained to him that I have photographic evidence that he did it when I should have just apologized and said: "Yes, sir."

A Passion, an Obsession, My Job?
At 18 years old, it's hard to say "I love my job," but when I turned 18, I knew what my goal for the months to come was: I was going to become a snowboard instructor. Getting paid to do something I absolutely love to do? That sounds awesome. I had worked at a resort in Michigan that the BOYNE company owned for two years before I was eligible to teach. I always wanted to be one of the people I saw walking around in the red coats that taught people of all ages the sport they lived for. I had been snowboarding for seven seasons and skied for three seasons prior to that before I applied for the job. I figured growing up on a ski hill and having some knowledge would help me land the job. I scored an interview and a few days later got a call asking when I can start working.

A Story of Being Young and Dumb
How It All Began I grew up in a very loving and supportive home. My parents would always find activities for me in order to keep me busy. As a young kid I had a lot of energy. During most summers I would take swimming lessons. Every May, I would collaborate with my friends to make sure we all got into the same lesson times. Some of my greatest memories from growing up involved going to the pool with friends. As I grew up, I eventually needed a job. Because getting a job at 16 years old is not an easy task, I decided to become a swimming instructor for the woman I received lessons from. It was perfect! I was getting paid to be in a pool all day. As time went on all of my friends became instructors as well. Working with my friends through my teenage years and early twenties I have gathered a lot of wonderful, crazy, and downright stupid experiences that I will never forget for the rest of my life.
