Side Jobs

I had many random side jobs in my life. Some of them are more random than other. I'll put a list here

• Renting manga

  • I started manga renting business in primary school. It didn't last long unfortunately.

• Cutting salmon head

  • This one is all the way back in Vietnam when my mom was selling salmon. There was a time a guest come over to my house and see me bring out a big knife, a huge cutting board, and a hammer to cut salmon heads. She was very shocked.

• Cleaning toilet

  • I needed money for my first laptop, so I contracted with my mom. Every toilet is $50 until I scoop up $800 for my laptop.

• Nursing home

  • I volunteered at nursing home for a while. It is a culture's duty to take care of it's elderly.

• Freelancer on Fiverr

  • It was Covid, so I had so much free time on my computer. I ended up doing manga editing and solving physics problems on Fiverr.

• Uber Eats Driver

  • They pay pretty high. This was a very good side job for college student. The only downside is driving too much which increase accident risk. I learned a lot of new cool restaurant and areas doing this job though.

• Waiter

  • I worked over the summer at my uncle restaurant. At the time, it was a very understaffed, so I did have the experience of bearing the workload of 2-3 people at once. Restaurant environment is very high pressure and physically demanding. After this job, I realize how privileged I am to be able to get a formal education and have access to office job.
