Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life, because nobody is hiring for that.
@Leeisme Unexpected ending 🤣🤣
@Leeisme i love leading a fortune 500 company
@Leeisme I recently heard of a professional skier. It's a thing, apparently. Sounds a bit niche.
@lemonsqueezy @Leeisme
My cousin was a tennis instructor in his 20s. It was decent money teaching lonely wives how to play. There were also a lot of, uh, tips offered.

@Leeisme @jackyan Ahhh - is this the real ending to that saying?

Like how people say "The customer is always right." But it actually ends with "in matters of taste.”

@Leeisme
I'm glad someone finally said it!

@Leeisme

Yeah, I missed the heyday for calligrapher book-copyists.

@Leeisme Alternatively: Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life, because you're burnt out now

@Gavin Lux Enjoyer Not in my experience, i usually get hired for what i do love doing.

@Leeisme @vfrmedia Or if you do somehow get hired for it, some new manager will come along and boldly proclaim that it's unnecessary, and summarily lay you off.

[This is a subtoot. 😒]

@jima @Leeisme over the years I have seen so much technology actively used to optimise out anything fun/creative in workplaces (even in the so-called "creative industries") and it started 30 years ago, even before all this AI bullshit..
@vfrmedia @Leeisme Oh, this one wasn't even fun/creative, just controversial. 🙄
