My Heart podcasts, hear more kids podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the free I Hard app.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Okay, young TikToker called Samona, who's ditched a dream job
for a job she hates but furnishes her lifestyle.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
It's a Monday, It's twelve forty five.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I just got back from the beach.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I drove down in my lunch break, had lunch on
the beach, went through Chicky Swim, and then came back
for my next meeting at one.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
All that to.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Say, this is my dream lifestyle and the only reason
I can live like this is because I chose a
job I am not passionate about.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
The only thing I would say about this discussion, by
the way, thirty one and six five, do you have
to love your job to be happy? Is And I'm
going to sound old here, but so this woman talking
about Simona, she's twenty four, right, I mean when I
was twenty four, Like, if you paid me enough, yeah,
I would have. If my job was crawling through broken glass,

(01:07):
I would have done it if you paid me enough.
Because at the end of the day, the only thing
you care about is lifestyle. Because I think subconsciously, when
you're when you're young, you know that you've got this room.
You're like whatever, right, But then I think as you
get older and you get more and more obligations, particularly
when you have children and you don't have time to
go to the beach and you don't like your free

(01:29):
time is really rare. I think that you put increasing
pressure on what your job. That's why we see so
many people have well, certainly in my experience, I've had
seen so many friends, picularly that I did law with
at Uni, who kind of got to thirty and then
they were like, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
I hate being a lawyer.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, and they changed because the job becomes your life
because they realized exactly whereas in a junior role it's like, yeah,
if we do this and get paid enough.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
And you know, when she's like this is my dream lifestyle,
that changes as well because like the stakes get higher.
Like my dream lifestyle just used to be do I
earn enough money so that I can pay for drinks
at a nightclub on the weekend. I was like, I'll
do it if you want for that, because that's the
best thing in the world.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I almost did one of those you know, he could
apply to be like a guinea pig for medical experiments. Yeah,
I was going to get paid six thousand dollars and
all I had to do was chop off a toe
and then medical doctors that were training would sew it
back on.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Wow six K. Let's go to Georgia top for another day.
What's your toe worth? On Thurday?

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Winter sixth fight, Georgia. Hi, hey, you're a Unie student.
What do you reckon? Do you have to love your
job to be happy.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
For me personally? Yes? So I'm a UNI student doing
teaching and I used to do hospital, which is good money,
but I hated it. Yeah, Sam, I'm a teacher's aide
and I owned crap money to meet an hour and
a half to the school I like, but I absolutely
love it and it just makes me so much happier.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Good stuff, Georgia. I reckon what what he said before
is bang on, which is which is rare. I want
to start with saying that, thank you, But secondly, I
think what your job whether if you're working at crap job,
I think you will you will put up with that
based on how much you love the thing that that.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Job is facilitating. Yes, how much it allows you to do?

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, if it goes to the opportunity to be performing
every Thursday night in a theater where you don't get paid,
and you're able to do that every week because of
the job you're doing.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
I think you can still be pretty.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
You have to love the thing. It's like when people
say I hate my job, but it gives me enough
money so that I get to take my family on
good holidays. It's like, well, you obviously love your family,
so you'll do whatever it takes. Yes, So it's whatever,
it's whatever it's furnishing. Yes, Teresa has called hello, hey, hey, hey,
you been in your industry for over thirty years.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
Yes, a bit, I everge.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Okay, okay, so you got some perspective on this question.
What do you reckon?

Speaker 6 (03:55):
So my perspective is, I think you're very lucky if
you can find a job that you actually really do,
passionately enjoy, and I think it's actually for most people,
it's unlikely that that does happen. And I do like
my job. But one of the perspective is that I
always say to the younger people coming through, I do

(04:15):
like my job, but I wouldn't do it for free,
because then that is something that you would love and
then it's a passion or a hobby or something. So
if I didn't get paid, I wouldn't go to work.
But I do enjoy the job that I do, So
I think that's the question that you should ask yourself.
You don't have to love your job. That has to
be your passion, but you have to like going enough

(04:36):
going to work if you wake up every day and
say I hate my job.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
And that's where it comes down to the people that
we work, that you work with as well. I reckon Trece,
like you really, you know. I remember working hospital for ages,
and to be honest, like there was parts of hospital
that I really didn't.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Like, but the crew was epic. Yeah, victorious because your community,
your sense.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
You agree with that point, Victoria.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Absolutely, I'm Hi and Emity, and I absolutely agree. Because
I don't particularly love my job, I go be because
of the people that I work with. We make like
an amazing team and they've become some of my closest friends.
And so yeah, I think just being around people who

(05:19):
support you and who are always there for you, it
really does make a difference. So I wouldn't necessarily change
my line of work just because of who I work with.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
So, Victoria, so if these people, if they moved on,
would you quit?

Speaker 4 (05:34):
You know what, I'll probably move on to a different workplace. Yeah,
I think I work. And also just because like I
know that connection makes it really something like that drives
your engreace to work. So yeah, I would have to
move on to a place where I feel like at
least I can get along with the people.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
That's w a hypothetical, Victoria.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Let's say in a world, you go, You've got these
people that you work with, it you love, and you go, Okay,
if you want to continue that, we need you to
take a pay cut ten percent pay cut, or we
can offer you a promotion over here where it doubles
your money. But you know already that you don't like
those people that you're going to be working with.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
What would you do in that scenario?

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Oh, you know, that's a tricky one. But I've got
to say, I'm going to go for the money.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Wo
