I teach health education to high school students within the Daly City district.
Schedule changes every week. I work full days teaching sometimes in the office and from home. Since COVID, at-work adopted to hybrid, so working can be flexible over schedules now.
Here's the first step for college students
Explore as much as you can! Try different kinds of jobs, meet people, see what resonates and follow that. Do things that interest you not pleasing others. Know your worth. Don't tolerate employers treating you badly. Sometimes employers take advantage of young people for working and not knowing much how the world functions. If you're doing work, you should always be receiving benefits—getting paid, class credit, gaining skills. Your time is valuable, don't work for free. HAVING FUN WITH LIFE!
"I've had jobs I didn't like. Even in my current role, I received a lot of constructive criticism, which can be hard to hear sometimes. I've also dealt with injuries that impacted my work and my mental health."
