Have you ever thought about taking on a second job or multiple jobs at the same time but have not gone round to it because of how it can impact your current lifestyle?
The fear of pursuing more than one career can be a lot more daunting than it seems. Not only does your workload increase, but you also have to properly divide your attention into each job and efficiently work on them to make progress. Naturally, the pressure that comes from dwelling in multiple careers is quite taxing and has caused many people to hesitate from moving past their current career.
However, many people have faced the pressure of having multiple jobs head-on, and the rewards they attained from it far outweighed its drawbacks.
Additional Income
One of the most obvious and attractive benefits of having more than one job is getting an additional source of income.
Expenses have grown over the years, whether if it's for paying rent or school, and many people are in dire need of money to make ends meet. Moreover, having additional money can also make way for you to indulge in some personal expenses.
A Chance to Fall Back
Nothing is permanent – and the same thing can be said about your job. There is no such thing as job security which is why having several jobs at a time can provide you with an alternative to fall back to when things don't work out in your other jobs.
Learning More Than One Skill
Having multiple talents that can be used in the professional sector is in high demand now. Employers are on the hunt for people with multifaceted skills.
Taking on several jobs allows you to learn many different skills that will give you access to a large skill set. This way, you can improve your abilities and apply to many better-paying jobs.
If you want further convincing, just take a look at Grace Wan's journey that has led to her successful careers. As a revered member of the entertainment industry, Grace Wan has taken on several roles in her career, which include being an actress, producer, director, musician, singer, screenwriter, and filmmaker.
She excels in many talents, such as playing the guitar, bass, drums, and piano. Additionally, she has also been featured many times in music videos and has even performed in the Canadian Idol Season 4 in Vancouver, where she sang 'Inside your Heaven' and 'Greatest Love of All.'
Her pursuit in multiple careers started at a young age. She took ballet classes at the age of five and then moved further onto skating, singing, guitar and piano lessons. Wan would often showcase her skills in talent shows and won many awards for her abilities.
In her pursuit to turn her talents into professional careers, she took acting classes at the WestCoast Actors Studio, Moonstone Theatre, and many more before she finally entered the entertainment industry. Her debut was a short romantic comedy, 'Shampoozled', and had her acting career take off with her role as Jamie Fu in a short drama film, 'Family Portrait.'
When it comes to her singing career, she released her first album GW Achievement in 2017, which she had been working on since 2007. And now she is working on her second album that is soon to be released.
One of Grace's biggest struggles was that she did not succeed every time she tried something different. But because she never gave up and kept trying her hand at everything, she eventually took control over all her careers and has learned the craft to efficiently manage them all.
