A Number of General Observations of the Working World

A Number of General Observations of the Working World
or
​A List of Things You Must Know Before Entering the Workforce as a Young Kid/Adult or Something Else
​Part 1

To start off, this thing is a rough guide or information I wished some one gave me on leaving school or even better, before I got my first actual job as in working for an actual company job where I pay tax or for the next role or the role after that.
When I left school after my thirteen years of primary, middle and secondary (Australia has only Primary and High Schools) I had big dreams and plans, only problem is that you have to
plan specifically for the future.
I didn’t.

My head was thick in my teenage angst and rebellious phase while stuck in a book or on a computer blocking out the real world (geek). However once you leave the school hall for the
last time, you need to make some money.
Seriously, shit gets expensive when your parents want you to make your own way in life and
the best way is to tighten the purse strings on your expenditure (if you were lucky enough to have a family like this or if you didn’t you matured a hell of a lot earlier than I did).
Money makes the world go round, it won’t make you happy but it helps to live.
If some one gave this guide to me as a graduating high school present I would of actually read this.

Why?
Because I am the dreaded black sheep of a the family who no one understands and has no real direction in life with little talent in anything AKA the dreamer, the creative, doesn’t have
his shit together, directionless and no set direction in life, just the freedom of being me.
This might not be as relevant now but back when I started writing this in 2017/18 it made some sense. From electrical engineering to marketing to advertising to graphic design to
cooking and a few different jobs thrown in for good measure, everything in here to steer and guide you dear sweet reader, I’ve done it so you don’t have to but you can if you want.
Remember this is a guidebook, not a rule book. You can make your own path or you can read the experiences of my path finding and follow.
​
Or make your own...
