Q&A

Sadie P

What’s your relationship with paid employment?

I work part time (20 hours a week) for a charity. I work because I have to. I like the convenience of my job, but it’s not a career. I would love to have a passion that gets me excited and helps pay the bills but I don’t see that happening for me. A job always feels like a means to an end. So I also spend time volunteering and getting involved with other things (such as Changing Realities) to add value to my life.
