Last year I (26M) moved to a new city for a new job. Long story short, the owner of that company was one of the biggest scumbags I've ever met and after only three months (I was already searching for a different job because of how toxic of a work environment he made it) I was let go. I've really never in my life been a part of a “good” work environment, and this was just another addition to that long list. I delivered for Uber Eats to get me through the winter, and it got me until I got a new job, but just barely. I still didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life, so I decided to just try and find a seasonal job I'll have fun with to get me through the summer and to the end of my lease. I ended up getting a job as a tour guide, and just started it a few weeks ago. As the title says, I only get paid $12/hr, but here's the kicker: as a tour guide, I get to take pictures of the guests, and this company allows us to sell our own picture packages. They take nothing from those. I've already had a few days I've made $150-200, and it's only going to get busier as the summer goes on, some of the guys that worked previous summers said they would regularly go home with $500+ a day during the peak season. This place is the first place I've ever worked at where I feel like I can just shoot the shit with my bosses. They are all super laid back, and all my other coworkers are too. By being able to sell our own pictures, it helps everybody; us guides get more money, the company can save more by keeping our hourly rate low, and nobody on the administrative side has to worry about sending pictures to the dozens and dozens of customers we get daily. It's a fun job, I'm going to be able to make a ton of money this summer, I get to meet tons of new people, and everyone I work with is super dope. And on top of all that, while I was chatting with my boss one day, he suggested a similar line of work I could actually make a career out of that I had never even considered, and it sounds like it truly could be my dream job. I'm a big believer that everything happens for a reason, this past spring I really struggled with my mental health for the first time, and was honestly hopeless for the foreseeable future. Then this job came along and I couldn't be happier. Here's to hoping everyone else out there can find their own perfect fit like I just did.
