The third challenge: what do people thank me for.
Now this is a real challenge.
I used to love helping people In fact that's what I loved in my first two jobs. I was a reference librarian. Helping people find the information they were looking for was my most important task. But then I changed jobs again. In the beginning I still worked part-time as a reference librarian, but the readers who needed help insulted us on a daily basis without any reason. After a year I couldn't take it any more and I changed to a back-office job at the same employer. There I discovered that negativity is part of the institution's script. In fact it seems to be part of the script of 90 % of the civil servants I know. (As a librarian I'm also a civil servant)
I am fed up with this mentality, so I decided to become a product photographer. In this job I can help people sell their products by photographing them for a catalogue or website. And I love it.
Thank you for reading this!
