working with heart

January 21, 2009 | thea in upclose | 1 Comment |

I envy those who are in a job that is the same or somehow similar with their passion. I have two passions:

1. Dancing – I can’t sing but I can dance. I don’t want to end up as a backup dancer in any of local lunchtime shows. But it would be cool to be a backup dancer of, say, Beyonce. Still, I think it takes too much time practising. Plus, I think they have an age requirement. I may be too old now for it.

2. Photography – If I have the luxury of time (and of course, money), I’d enrol in classes, buy SLR for each lens that I want, travel around the country (with the family, I don’t like to travel with others hehe) and take pictures.

But both do not meet ALL important criteria:
1. Pay – dancing pays a lot IF you are working for someone really big like I said, Beyonce or any famous R&B artist. Photography pays good as well but only when you’re REALLY good. Plus it isn’t as stable as you want it to be. It seems that there will always be someone new who will be the next consumer favorite.

2. Time for the family and friends- dancing takes up too much time. Photography wins a point in this aspect.

3. Happiness (heart, heart) factor – here, the day job becomes the sore loser. :lol:
