副業知多少?SIDE HUSTLES

淺談「副業」的好處 What are the benefits of a side hustle?

我們都需要錢才能在世界上生存。 通常，我們的工作薪水足以滿足基本需要；但是，能夠支付急用、債務和一些高價需求嗎？ 很可能沒辦法。 再來，正職工作可不一定像自己所希望地那樣牢靠。 有些人認為 二○二二年時，機器人很可能將全面接手約莫百分之四十的工作。 「副業」於是乎登場。 一個可靠的副業無疑將有助於填補財務空缺，還能提供更多安全感；此外，還有不少好處喔。

活出熱情

你的正職工作可能可以支付帳單，但也許卻不是你熱情的所在。 開始一個與自己熱情相契合的副業吧。 假如你是個愛狗人士；可以透過遛狗或製作狗玩具來賺錢。 也許你熱愛攝影；那麼就開始一個拍攝人物肖像的副業。 或者，設置一間網路商店，出售印有自己拍攝照片的卡片和筆記本。 做自己熱愛的工作就是擁有副業的最佳理由。 

We all need money in order to survive in the world. Usually our job's salary is adequate for our basic needs. But will it cover emergencies, debts and those expensive wants? Likely not. And your main job may not be as secure as you

would like. Some consider it possible for robots to take over about 40 percent of all

jobs in 2022. Enter the side hustle. A reliable one is undoubtedly helpful in padding your finances and offering more security; furthermore, there are other benefits.

You get to live out your passion

Your main job may pay the bills, but maybe it doesn't match your passion. Start a side hustle that does. Let's say you're a dog lover. You could make money by walking dogs or making dog toys. Or maybe you enjoy photography. Begin a side business taking people's portraits. Or set up an online store selling cards and notebooks featuring your photos. Doing work that you're passionate about is an excellent reason to have a side hustle.
