I am a post-90s generation, with a monthly salary of 5k and a side job of 20k
Every Spring Festival, family reunion is the happiest thing, but your aunts and uncles are about to arrive at the battlefield, other people's children are about to come online, and the three-piece set of work performance urging marriage is coming. This year, it is estimated that this group will have one more item to report to their superiors - a side job.

Having a side job is something that adults should consciously do nowadays. According to a 2019 report from a recruitment website, about 8.2% of working people in China have side job income. So it is not difficult to understand why the following remarks are often seen in the hot topic #It’s too hard for me to have no side job# :
“I feel anxious and insecure working only one job.”
"It's boring to just do the same old job day after day."
"He has also started a side job? Should I also..."
These words make it seem that people in the workplace who don’t have a side job are like those in life without a Plan B.

Most people's side jobs are usually extensions of their main jobs. For example, if one's main job is photography, his side job is also inseparable from related fields. Of course, there are also cross-industry talents whose main job is field A and their side job is field B. Of course, multiple identities also bring multiple experiences.
The desire to have a side job
You may ask, if we work overtime every day, how can we have the energy to do a side job? Why do we have to have a side job?
But for those who "can't sit still", their lives are not only about money, education, and status. A side job is not only to increase their income, but also has the meaning of self-breakthrough, the value of experience, and the continuation of interests and hobbies. Moreover, multiple careers bring double self-satisfaction and sense of value, which is a way to realize self-worth.

This type of people all want to have their own plan B, and amphibious life is one of the ways. They call themselves amphibious youth, or slash youth, and they juggle two careers at the same time in their daily lives. Even if it is tiring, time-consuming, or even costing money, they still enjoy it.
Does the side job seem easy?
She seems to be an ordinary white-collar worker who is not good at speaking in front of others, but she is a skilled baking expert. Instead of going out to socialize, she prefers to stay at home and study recipes, carefully consider the proportions of the ingredients, and occasionally share teaching videos on video websites.
Taking your hobbies as a side job will make you happier and more meticulous
Or Xiaoying, who works as a magazine editor and a contracted online writer as a sideline, has fulfilled her childhood dream of writing novels. On weekdays, she is also a member of the cubicle, busy with business. When switching to her spare time, her ideas flow like a spring, and she can also bring her life and work experiences into the novel, making it more real.
According to Xiaoying, writing in a coffee shop is more inspiring
And since I have the equipment anyway, and I have a little money to spend in my spare time, I might as well go out and walk around the streets, record the beautiful atmosphere of the city, and bring it to the audience on the other side of the screen. Because it is my interest, I can still update it every Monday.
Xiao Qian said that he and his friends walked around the streets carrying equipment on weekends and it was not tiring at all!
Comrade Xiao Zhao, who also has equipment, likes cars on weekdays. In his spare time, he can make a small fortune by taking private orders to shoot cars. It is true that a side job based on his hobby will be more motivating.
Xiao Zhao: It turns out that photographing cars can also be a side job!
The above side jobs seem simple and interesting, are they really easy?
To achieve this kind of "amphibious freedom", the time and energy required are no less than that of the main job. When viewers watch the videos he shares, they may fall into the dream of a seemingly beautiful side job, thinking that they can easily make money and fame by doing what they like in their free time.
You have to take charge of every step by yourself, and learn every point in your spare time. Only then can you turn what you didn't know before into what you are good at.
For many side jobs, you often need to use fragmented time to record inspiration, instant materials, etc. For example, Xiao Chen often runs business, and he has certain requirements for recording materials in different scenes in terms of battery life, response speed, and connectivity. This is also a factor in ensuring video quality and efficiency.
Intel's mobile super notebooks have: continuous response, long battery life and quick wake-up. These three standards are very suitable for the multiple roles of the post-90s generation, and they can be switched at any time without any effort. Laptops with the "Intel Mobile Super" logo have a worry-free 9-hour battery life, 4 hours of battery life after charging for half an hour, instant wake-up, and strong connectivity, which are enough to meet the needs of different scenarios.
Compared to video bloggers who need to move around all the time to collect materials, it is relatively easy for lawyers to start a side job. In addition to work, legal professionals can turn themselves into paid online professional consultants with a computer with strong connectivity and stable performance.

Legal paid consultation through the Internet allows the general public to break the distance in space, provide them with professional advice, avoid risks, improve legal awareness and give full play to their professional advantages. This sideline is based on the extension of work, and is more accumulative and inheritable.
In Project Athena , the target specification 1.0 requires innovation in six key areas: instant work, performance and responsiveness, intelligent performance, battery life, connectivity, and appearance specifications.
All of these are proposed from the perspective of user experience. From power consumption to response speed, every component of the notebook affects the user experience. A computer that meets these indicators can not only meet the needs of the mobile group, but also for you who have a side job Plan B, it can switch positions at any time and engage in different roles with you.
Athena certified laptops
In recent years, under the influence of the "urgent need for side jobs", everyone seems to spare no effort and try every possible way to develop side jobs in their spare time. But is a side job really necessary for everyone? This question is a matter of opinion.
What we can see is that this group of people who are successful in their side jobs have indeed gained more, but they have also paid a lot. I hope that everyone can make full use of their talents in amphibious and slash jobs, and become the capable person who can handle both the main job and the side job in the eyes of others.
