Is And I'm 17 00:00:53,429 --> 00:00:56,109 Speaker 2: going to sound old here, but so this woman talking 18 00:00:56,109 --> 00:00:59,029 Speaker 2: about Simona, she's twenty four, right, I mean when I 19 00:00:59,069 --> 00:01:02,749 Speaker 2: was twenty four, Like, if you paid me enough, yeah, 20 00:01:02,828 --> 00:01:06,628 Speaker 2: I would have.

I think that you put increasing 30 00:01:34,309 --> 00:01:35,749 Speaker 2: pressure on what your job. That's why we see so 31 00:01:35,789 --> 00:01:38,509 Speaker 2: many people have well, certainly in my experience, I've had 32 00:01:38,669 --> 00:01:40,829 Speaker 2: seen so many friends, picularly that I did law with 33 00:01:40,869 --> 00:01:44,349 Speaker 2: at Uni, who kind of got to thirty and then 34 00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:45,749 Speaker 2: they were like, oh my god. 35 00:01:45,549 --> 00:01:46,469 Speaker 3: I hate being a lawyer. 36 00:01:47,149 --> 00:01:50,069 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they changed because the job becomes your life 37 00:01:50,109 --> 00:01:54,469 Speaker 1: because they realized exactly whereas in a junior role it's like, yeah, 38 00:01:54,549 --> 00:01:56,309 Speaker 1: if we do this and get paid enough. 39 00:01:56,109 --> 00:01:58,229 Speaker 2: And you know, when she's like this is my dream lifestyle, 40 00:01:58,709 --> 00:02:01,109 Speaker 2: that changes as well because like the stakes get higher. 41 00:02:01,149 --> 00:02:03,429 Speaker 2: Like my dream lifestyle just used to be do I 42 00:02:03,469 --> 00:02:05,549 Speaker 2: earn enough money so that I can pay for drinks 43 00:02:05,549 --> 00:02:08,349 Speaker 2: at a nightclub on the weekend.

Yes, how much it allows you to do? 70 00:03:19,389 --> 00:03:21,909 Speaker 1: Yeah, if it goes to the opportunity to be performing 71 00:03:22,629 --> 00:03:25,389 Speaker 1: every Thursday night in a theater where you don't get paid, 72 00:03:25,389 --> 00:03:27,228 Speaker 1: and you're able to do that every week because of 73 00:03:27,269 --> 00:03:27,948 Speaker 1: the job you're doing. 74 00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:29,229 Speaker 3: I think you can still be pretty. 75 00:03:29,349 --> 00:03:31,829 Speaker 2: You have to love the thing. It's like when people 76 00:03:31,869 --> 00:03:33,429 Speaker 2: say I hate my job, but it gives me enough 77 00:03:33,429 --> 00:03:34,789 Speaker 2: money so that I get to take my family on 78 00:03:34,829 --> 00:03:37,189 Speaker 2: good holidays. It's like, well, you obviously love your family, 79 00:03:37,549 --> 00:03:39,909 Speaker 2: so you'll do whatever it takes. Yes, So it's whatever, 80 00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:47,789 Speaker 2: it's whatever it's furnishing. Yes, Teresa has called hello, hey, hey, hey, 81 00:03:47,869 --> 00:03:50,349 Speaker 2: you been in your industry for over thirty years. 82 00:03:50,789 --> 00:03:52,349 Speaker 6: Yes, a bit, I everge. 83 00:03:51,989 --> 00:03:54,109 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so you got some perspective on this question. 84 00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:54,669 Speaker 2: What do you reckon? 85 00:03:55,389 --> 00:03:59,629 Speaker 6: So my perspective is, I think you're very lucky if 86 00:03:59,669 --> 00:04:01,949 Speaker 6: you can find a job that you actually really do, 87 00:04:02,189 --> 00:04:06,349 Speaker 6: passionately enjoy, and I think it's actually for most people, 88 00:04:06,429 --> 00:04:10,389 Speaker 6: it's unlikely that that does happen. And I do like 89 00:04:10,509 --> 00:04:12,829 Speaker 6: my job. But one of the perspective is that I 90 00:04:12,869 --> 00:04:15,349 Speaker 6: always say to the younger people coming through, I do 91 00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:17,709 Speaker 6: like my job, but I wouldn't do it for free, 92 00:04:18,109 --> 00:04:20,549 Speaker 6: because then that is something that you would love and 93 00:04:20,589 --> 00:04:23,308 Speaker 6: then it's a passion or a hobby or something. So 94 00:04:23,349 --> 00:04:25,589 Speaker 6: if I didn't get paid, I wouldn't go to work. 95 00:04:25,869 --> 00:04:28,389 Speaker 6: But I do enjoy the job that I do, So 96 00:04:28,429 --> 00:04:30,709 Speaker 6: I think that's the question that you should ask yourself. 97 00:04:30,709 --> 00:04:33,149 Speaker 6: You don't have to love your job. That has to 98 00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:36,469 Speaker 6: be your passion, but you have to like going enough 99 00:04:36,549 --> 00:04:38,068 Speaker 6: going to work if you wake up every day and 100 00:04:38,149 --> 00:04:39,188 Speaker 6: say I hate my job. 101 00:04:39,229 --> 00:04:41,149 Speaker 2: And that's where it comes down to the people that 102 00:04:41,229 --> 00:04:44,149 Speaker 2: we work, that you work with as well. I reckon Trece, 103 00:04:44,269 --> 00:04:47,749 Speaker 2: like you really, you know. I remember working hospital for ages, 104 00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:49,509 Speaker 2: and to be honest, like there was parts of hospital 105 00:04:49,509 --> 00:04:50,469 Speaker 2: that I really didn't. 106 00:04:50,269 --> 00:04:55,589 Speaker 1: Like, but the crew was epic. Yeah, victorious because your community, 107 00:04:55,589 --> 00:04:55,869 Speaker 1: your sense. 108 00:04:56,909 --> 00:05:00,188 Speaker 2: You agree with that point, Victoria. 109 00:04:59,229 --> 00:05:04,109 Speaker 4: Absolutely, I'm Hi and Emity, and I absolutely agree. Because 110 00:05:04,309 --> 00:05:09,069 Speaker 4: I don't particularly love my job, I go be because 111 00:05:09,309 --> 00:05:12,349 Speaker 4: of the people that I work with. We make like 112 00:05:12,349 --> 00:05:16,069 Speaker 4: an amazing team and they've become some of my closest friends. 113 00:05:16,309 --> 00:05:19,709 Speaker 4: And so yeah, I think just being around people who 114 00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:22,229 Speaker 4: support you and who are always there for you, it 115 00:05:22,269 --> 00:05:25,669 Speaker 4: really does make a difference. So I wouldn't necessarily change 116 00:05:25,829 --> 00:05:28,269 Speaker 4: my line of work just because of who I work with. 117 00:05:29,069 --> 00:05:31,869 Speaker 1: So, Victoria, so if these people, if they moved on, 118 00:05:32,669 --> 00:05:33,309 Speaker 1: would you quit? 119 00:05:34,789 --> 00:05:37,868 Speaker 4: You know what, I'll probably move on to a different workplace. Yeah, 120 00:05:37,909 --> 00:05:41,709 Speaker 4: I think I work. And also just because like I 121 00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:45,909 Speaker 4: know that connection makes it really something like that drives 122 00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:47,709 Speaker 4: your engreace to work. So yeah, I would have to 123 00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:49,389 Speaker 4: move on to a place where I feel like at 124 00:05:49,469 --> 00:05:51,069 Speaker 4: least I can get along with the people. 125 00:05:51,269 --> 00:05:52,829 Speaker 3: That's w a hypothetical, Victoria. 126 00:05:52,949 --> 00:05:54,949 Speaker 1: Let's say in a world, you go, You've got these 127 00:05:54,949 --> 00:05:57,269 Speaker 1: people that you work with, it you love, and you go, Okay, 128 00:05:57,269 --> 00:05:58,868 Speaker 1: if you want to continue that, we need you to 129 00:05:58,869 --> 00:06:02,308 Speaker 1: take a pay cut ten percent pay cut, or we 130 00:06:02,389 --> 00:06:05,469 Speaker 1: can offer you a promotion over here where it doubles 131 00:06:05,469 --> 00:06:08,349 Speaker 1: your money. But you know already that you don't like 132 00:06:08,349 --> 00:06:09,829 Speaker 1: those people that you're going to be working with. 133 00:06:09,988 --> 00:06:11,628 Speaker 3: What would you do in that scenario? 134 00:06:12,389 --> 00:06:15,069 Speaker 4: Oh, you know, that's a tricky one. But I've got 135 00:06:15,109 --> 00:06:17,389 Speaker 4: to say, I'm going to go for the money. 136 00:06:21,629 --> 00:06:21,749 Speaker 2: Wo
