A couple of months ago I made the firm decision to resign in my work, definitely being a salaried worker in the country where I live became a slavery. Mainly because you are donating 8 hours of your life stuck in a job where the pay is very low.

Let's talk about numbers

So that they understand a little, I had to work 8 to 1 hour and a half from my house. I had to grab 3 trucks, not bus, 3 TRUCKS where they transport animals, to get to my job, insecurity, and the danger of being hit on a truck, it's really high.


And even though I did not belong to that group of people who received a minimum wage, and my salary was a bit higher than this, I earned the amount of 4$ in the month.


5 days for week , 4 week, for 4$.
That's what it amounts to 0.2$ the day.

My body and my mind said ALREADY ENOUGH!!!

Even if I did not study the career I wanted, let me tell you that I like engineering, you tend to grab love, even though it was not my favorite career, but that's another matter. Since 2 years ago I was working as a freelancer, and I do not belong to the big leagues, which can earn $ 500 and up in a month. I think I still belong to the junior leagues, since I do not generate that amount in a month. I earn decent, I'm still working on that to find more sources of income and to get to the big leagues. The work that I have carried out for 2 years is writing, and good thanks to God (in your case readers to the deity or cosmic force that you prefer) continuous ... I am doing well. And in 2 days working writing, and I only spend 2 hours a day I can do the amount I did in a month in my old job. So I quit

Things you should know how Freelancer

When you take those jobs that seem wonderful and offer villas and castles put limitations, they can exploit you physically, they demand too much, they treat you badly and in the end. SO SO SO You have been scammed! The contractors disappear, they block you and they do not pay you. It has happened to me several times and seriously the spite it gives when you have invested in a month of work to find out that you are not going to pay is usually worse than what it gives you when a person leaves you.

Rate your work

Everything you do is worth, do not let yourself explode, if you are working as a freelancer seriously it is to improve your quality of life and be able to invest time in those things that you want. Do as many courses as you can and be within your reach, see series, read books. Do what you really want, it's your time and manage it as you want. So look for jobs that have a decent pay and give you that availability. And for nothing in the world accept a job where the assh@le I contract treats you badly, insults you, or humiliates you. We are in a digital age, and just as you lose a job you can get a new one.

Go building your portfolio

On the internet you get very varied jobs, from writing, managing social networks, complex things like being a programmer, things related to your career, such as making inventories, managing payroll, being an assistant, you can send up to "nudes" and still generate money. So have a portfolio of your work, so that people know what you're working on.

Be grateful

Never stoop to the level of a person who insults, curses, offends or humiliates, be professional and regal and say "That goes well in life." There is no point grabbing grudges, arrecheras or an aneurysm by a person who is making fun of you, on another screen in another part of the world. Thanks for both the good and the bad, if something great happens to you very well, and if something bad happens to you that is giving you an apprenticeship.

Reinvent yourself

Do not get stuck, take advantage of all your skills, do not let anyone disturb your peace of mind. Study languages, learn everything you've learned, and invest your free time. Success will come to you for everything you know, and for all you are worth. Be yourself, and when you're selling to an offer sell yourself in the best way. If you have no experience, on the road and with time you will have it.

And finally…

Do things with the greatest passion you have in your life, but if you feel really inspired then do not do it. Do things well, and when you feel better, and you will see the rewards that you will have.

Have an excellent day :)
