The pandemic has undoubtedly changed the lifestyles of many. Not just preventing sickness, but how we socialize, how we learn, and above all, how we work. Covid has forced many to evaluate their lives and in turn, how they make money to survive. Financial help was given to many, and some in a well standing position have decided to change how they make their money.
Younger generations have embraced untraditional jobs and utilized technology to aid in new sources of income. The past few years we have seen a rise in people who buy and sell stocks for a living instead of working a 9 to 5. Others have opted for a riskier mode, investing in cryptocurrency and NFTs. A few have gained popularity on social media and make money as an influencer with sponsorships and starting their own businesses.
Older generations may not have a grasp on these new methods of making money and often write off the decline in traditional jobs as millennials and Gen z being lazy. Younger generations are not simply choosing these nontraditional jobs for quick cash or because there's any demand for the skill- but rather for reasons of passion.
There have been messages of motivation for people to do what they love for many years, and the pandemic has shown young people that their careers don't have to be conventional. Although the job market is a tricky concept right now, older generations can learn from the younger generations that they don't have to work a job they loathe. If doing what you love means leaving conventional jobs then go ahead, it's never too late to start doing what you love.
