Starting something new
After finishing school and studying in university for 4 years I had to find a job. Ideally I was supposed to be looking for one during my master degree but unfortunately life does not go as planned. With the dissertation, exams and all of the assignments I could only get to apply to 3 jobs, obviously with no reply. Since I am from Cyprus and my studies were in the UK I had to come back home to apply from here for jobs, which can be hard.

Losing Your Place
I'm a millennial, so I know what being laid off is like. I have been laid off from over 80% of the jobs I have ever had. I have been laid off due to economic crisis, failed company models, startups going bust, and embezzling executives. Being laid off because of a global pandemic is a new one, but not an unexpected one. The United States' response to COVID-19 has been abysmal at best, and because there is still no federal mandate on shelter in place orders, companies have scrambled to work out their new paradigm in this world where closeness can be the death of you.

Grifting - Modernized
The modern grifter has a new face. They play video games, create playlists of funnies found online and do unboxings of various types. Once they get enough followers, they are able to make money on free to view videos via monetization. While there are many who use monetization of podcasts, articles, videos and other media on different platforms can be used to support creative artists of various types, there is a stark difference from these artists and the grifters.

Working From Home
THE STORY Working first as an elementary school teacher and then as a college professor, I was surrounded by students much of the time. Though fundamentally an introvert, it was fun to explore my extrovert side. The students, especially the little tykes, were a joy to be with and provided plenty of mental stimulus. The rest of the time I indulged my introvert side.

To the people who work to better the world
I have always admired many health care professions and have wanted to work in these areas myself for some time. Primarily because I saw this as one of the few ways I could really apply myself to something I love, not just for a good salary, and not even because I love it, but because I simply wanted to improve the world around me.
