My work life has been very diverse; from Driving Big-Rig Trucks, to Computer Programming, from running a Health Food Store, to Being a Baker, from various retail jobs to Driving a City Bus. Each job was educational, and helped me discover a good deal about myself. Although I went to college, and while I ended up with enough credits to get a degree, (because my higher education experience was from a collection of different colleges and universities) they never tied together in a way that allowed me to get a that BA degree. I do not regret that at all. My life has been rich and full, and since I retired 2 1/2 years ago, I have been enjoying doing various projects around the house and yard. Minor construction and electrical work, gardening, some creative wood working, and more. Your diverse work life and cultural background are, I am sure, part of why you are able to make the most of your current challenging situation. I know you have what it takes to make your life better and better as you and Brian move forward along your adventurous path. All the best.
Thank you for sharing your incredible experience, Willowbei!
Hello Ana , I’m 60 and have had lots of different jobs … one thing lead to another I guess starting with a teaching assistant job, then a nanny, then a family visitor , then I ran a Nightshelter for the homeless, then I worked in a food bank , a debt clinic , then a vegan cafe . Now I work in a book shop . You couldn’t make it up ! I think the common theme has been helping people and I still try to do that now but at the same time I am writing my first novel and because of my varied career I have lots of stories to tell .
Thank you for your channel, I have watched you from the beginning but never commented before ❤
What an amazing and inspiring set of job experiences, Jill! Thank you for sharing it 🥰
I think the thing that makes teaching a surprisingly good fit for introverts is that our social role at work is clearly defined and that you essentially work independently. The downside is that if you are an HSP the compassion fatigue can really hit hard depending on the situation.
Beautiful how you distilled your experiences into a work life that suits you so well, and we are so grateful that you did too!
I also have tried different jobs. I very much enjoyed working with the elderly in a nursing home. I did that while my children were young. It is a most rewarding job, but heartwrenching to lose those I had cared for every day and become so close to. I worked in a doctor's office for a few years. Loved the paperwork- hated that damn phone! I would volunteer for the tasks no one else wanted to do just to get out of having to answer the constant demands. That's how I became the Medical Records person. I could be by myself in the file room. It is true that I spent most of my time unjamming the scanner or feeding pages into the fax machine one at a time, but I didn't mind because it kept me away from the very hectic front desk.
Oh, what a beautiful and heartbreaking job to work in a nursing home... Somehow it resonated with me so much, although I've never done anything like you have. Thank you for sharing your experience, dear friend 🌸
I taught special needs children for 4 years. It was like an old-fashioned one room school house since they were all different ages. I liked teaching but hated "school, " i.e. the rules, the paperwork, the politics, etc. I finally ended up giving private music lessons and that one-on-one experience lasted many years and was my all-time favorite "job."
I was a teacher for kids with special needs, too!! 24 years. And I left for the same reason. If I could have just worked with kids, I’d never have left.
Dear Ana. It was quite interesting to listen to your work experience. Respect to you, as you tried out many jobs. And I feel with you. I'm also an introvert and I work my whole life in an office. And I changed places, but what most places had in common was somehow a toxic environment. It was rarely the work itself I had problems with, but it was and still is the office politics and especially nasty co-workers, mostly in my department. It's quite stressful and I try to protect myself by not getting too muched involved, but it's not easy to detach. I feel like a grape in the morning, but in the evening after a working day I feel like a raisin 😅. But we all need to pay bills and thank god, not all is bad. Thank you and I wish you all the very best 🙏
Thank you for your kind support, dear Anita ❤️ Office work is often so very exhausting for introverts, I feel you! Sending love, my friend🌷
@@anagoldberg ❤️
I love this longer, podcast style post. I've also enjoyed your craft tutorial posts. You're an excellent online teacher!
I love your determination to find your place under the sun, your patience and your resilience!❤
My path is slightly different, but it had many similar features 😅. I am a classically trained musician and have worked so many different jobs in the music field, as well as a few random jobs just as means to survive.
Some of my musician jobs have been:
1.playing violin and viola- in orchestras; in a wedding house; in hotels around Asia; gigs with many different musicians and ensembles
2.teaching- violin, viola, piano, general musicianship, music theory (teaching all ages individually and in groups, privately and all kinds of institutions from junior schools to adult college)
3.conducting
4.busking
Random jobs:
1. bar job
2. catering
3. security
4.cleaning
5. domestic warden…I might have missed some
All of these jobs taught me something and enriched my life in some ways!
Wow, what an interesting and inspiring list, Ana 🥰 The music-related jobs are a complete mystery to me.
Your artists rolls are beautiful!!! If you ever start to make and sell again, I would love to buy some for myself and my two daughters who love creating. Thank you for sharing Ana! You’ve had some amazing experiences.
Aww, thank you for being so sweet 🥰🌸
Ana,
You're courageous, talented, creative, and the most lovely human being! Finding you and your channel has enriched my life so very much, and I thank you.
xoxo's Sandie🤗❄❄❄🎄
Thank you, Sandie ❤️
Thank you Ana! I love your content and your pure spirit. I have worked with my hands all my life and it has gotten me through many hardships. Working with your hands no matter what it is calms and feeds the soul. I love the pictures of your jewelry. Very beautiful. Thank you for just being you💕
Thank you, Barbara 🌷I can very much relate to your sentiment about working with hands ❤️
I am almost 40 and can't remember how many different jobs I've had but it's been a variety. I wish I knew what job is a good fit for me, this video helps me. The aptitude tests at employment centres never give results I am particularly interested in. For now I am considering becoming a librarian, but that means getting a masters and my bachelors took me 10 year from start to finish, and included some breaks.
We are so glad you discovered us, dear Ana! ❤
Aww, thank you Polly! ❤️
Teacher!i' m a proud English teacher in a vocational public school.I always always go to school,no matter how sick i am but this time is something more serious:i have 4 broken ribs an must stay at home 1 month...i miss miss and miss desperately my very difficult unpolite messy LOVELY students every single day:they always send me messages and waiting for me.I love my job
Aww, I always sincerely admired those who have found their true vocation in teaching! You sound like you have 🥰 And your students are so lucky to have you. Get well soon, Marialuisa ❤️
This was a fun video idea! I also am very introverted and I love you use the term "heavy duty introvert! " 😊 I work in a career with lots of extroverts. It can be challenging at times. I really love your channel as I relate what you share so much.
I have always worked in admin. I am 60 years of age and am continuing to work as an office worker. I work in an office on my own which suits me most of the time. Sometimes I enjoy my work, other times I am bored. I too am an introvert so looking for another job is out of the question at my age, yet I still need to work as the bills need paid. I look at my life and wish I had of found a job I really enjoyed instead of enduring them.
You are looking really great and I would say seen more relaxed and content.The colour you are wearing really suits you.
Thanks for another great vlog.
I’m not surprised to hear that you did some modeling. The pictures that you showed us were really beautiful. I’ve thought in the past that modeling would be something that you would be good at, but I’ve also been aware that it was probably not something that you would pursue. Thank you for reminiscing and sharing your work history with us!
Although many people don't end up in a career that's directly related to their degree, I bet most people do use a lot of the transferrable skills that they developed during their education -- critical thinking, writing for various audiences, public speaking/presentation skills, research skills, working in group and individual settings, project management, and so on. I think those are at least as important as the subject-specific knowledge that we learn!
Hi, Ana. I loved to hear about your experiences. As an introvert, reserved and quiet person, teaching is like hell to me. I tried it when i became unemployed at 47 and i colapsed. It didn't work; too much exposure, among other things.
What do you do now? I’m struggling..
Hi Ana, thank you for sharing all your work experiences with us. Im sure whatever you work on next will be amazing. With your creativity it will be a beautiful thing. Take care Gale❤
Thank you so much, Gale ❤️
18:57 I don't recommend waiting for your jewellery making supplies, buy all new Ana, and start making jewellery now, even if you think you can wait. The time is now.
I seriously loved this video, Love how each job morphed into the next. I'm 22, and often struggle with anxiety about my career, the rise of AI, fear of not doing enough. But to watch you, more experienced then me and see how you've gone through all these career switches is really comforting .
Very interesting to hear about your different jobs Ana! I am an introvert myself and I'm still struggling to find a career that suits me. Like you I make art and I have started to sell prints as a side hustle, which brings me a lot of joy. I think entrepreneurship fits us introverts well! Thanks again and Merry Christmas to yoy Ana and all the lovely people who follow this channel.:)
Happy x-mas to you too and best of luck🤗
Hi Jenny! I agree, entrepreneurship is a great fit for introverts 😊 Wishing you all the best with your creative endeavor! And Merry Christmas to you too, my friend ❤️
Great video Ana! I love hearing about people's jobs and work experience so this was right up my alley. You've certainly done a lot of interesting things - thanks for sharing with us!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, Judith! Thank you for being here ❤️
I loved the format of this video! I also majored in English literature, and have never been without work as a technical writer. I didn’t choose this major with a career in mind, but I’ve always thought it ironic how such an impractical academic pursuit has kept me employed for so long. I love your big beautiful red sweater and think you should consider this craft for your next creative calling ❤
Thank you Ana, very interesting.
Dear Ana.. this was by far the most enlightening video from you ( all are great😊).. Being a fellow HSP I could relate to everything you said.. I too want to try different things in life , job wise.. Might not be the smartest thing financially but the experiences are invaluable life lessons.. Some things you learn only by doing ..
Dearest Ana Wow you certainly had an amazing amount of jobs. This was so interesting thanks for sharing ❤ you are a very talented & creative person - I love your crafts & jewelry. Those modeling pictures were wonderful! 😘❤️
Thank you for your kind words, dear Sharon! Much love ❤️🌷
Very inspiring and comforting. My career has contained several different careers. I’m at a cross-roads right now, very miserable at my current job. I feel more courageous after hearing your story 😊 Thank you Ana!!
I very much enjoyed this Video, learning more about you as well as ur jewelry designs and bags, I am an on hands learner when it comes to practical learning, which makes it difficult for me to "learn" to paint art.
Ur work choices are smart and greatly admired. You obviously have great smarts.
I don't know if you would ever be willingly to talk about living in Siberia, if its sad or painful or triggering, NO. I am curious how people stay warm, heating, food, churches or not, community, work. I've had a passion to learn these things since I saw a tv program years ago w/folks on a train to Siberia, they had their meals, playing cards, vodka, maybe even cooked on train. It took for ever for them to arrive and the Video ended. Being from the Southern USA, I can hardly tolerate the cold.
Anyway, always my best to you and Brian, you bring hope in this world.
Another great video ana
It's interesting how many of your subscribers have had a variety of jobs. I have too, from the very mundane to the quite peculiar; office jobs, naturopath, business owner, archivist and archival director in universities and state institutions in two different countries. Finally I owned and ran a hotel in Turkey. Now I'm a writer and visual artist and the happiest (and poorest) I've ever been.
Wow, what an array of jobs! You've had some amazing experiences, Jude 🥰 And it's an inspiration for me to know that now being a writer and a visual artist you are the happiest.
So creative and inspiring ✨
Bonjour chère Ana !! What a great sharing, thank you 😊 And it's great because it shows that to be an introvert doesn't mean idle and stuck but we can experiment and change and be very flexible if we need to... As often I relate so much ! I send you my warmest thought to you dear friend 🌿💛🌸
Dear Violaine, thank you! ❤️ Indeed, introverts can be agile and pretty inventive in their life 😉 Sending love, my friend!
😊❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Hi Ana, I am also a very introverted person, but am not at all shy. Surprisingly all of my jobs have been very social and I loved them - balloon decorator in college, bartender/waitress, customer service rep, and finally high school teacher. I love being a teacher, and I think as an introvert it gives me just enough social interaction to satisfy. Then I love going home and being my typical homebody. 😊
Another very interesting and profoundly human video. Thanks Anna, for all' your thoughtful efforts to communicate your expériences: they enrich our life.
Very intriguing Ana, thanks. i tried a lot I remember when had a tricky period, just new Chicago. I had lots of jobs in month and dozens of interviews. I tried work outside in hiumid summer (only lasted 2 days), traveling hours to and back. Research studies, day jobs IIn addition, I even went to American Doll (an expensive toy with accesories and even restuarant for girls) that a line of applicants around the block! I think trying different things can be beneficial, but also knowing one's self and energy to find the best fits too.
PS Ethically I totally agree, trying to stay true to oneself, morals. Part I learned sometimes how employers some take advanaged of workers and didn't advocate well. The Skillshare resource seems so great, thank you.I think I'm still searching for what I want to be when I grow up🙂. 💕
This was very interesting. You are so creative and I always enjoy seeing what you have made. Perhaps you could do another craft tutorial, similar to the bracelet making video. Your background is impressive and your English is impeccable. You always inspire me!
Aww, thank you, Ruthann! ❤️
Very interesting!
I think you would be a fabulous teacher. In any subject.
Thank you, Nyckolaus!
I do enjoy this type of video. It was so wonderful how you have been able to use so many aspects of your education over the years
Dear Ana,
Hvala ti što si podelila s nama sva tvoja zanimanja i ineresovanja.
Znam da ćaš opet pronači nešto ,što ćete činiti sretnom,kao što su ručni radovi i podučavanje.
I ja sam u životu,sticajem okolnosti svašta radila i na kraju radim kao baštovan.Imamo našu zemlju i proizvodimo hranu za prodaju.Volim svoj posao i svoje biljke ali mi je sve to pomalo naporno zbog godina i zdravlja.Oduvek sam volela i ručne radove i.prodavala i to.Sad samo pravim za poklone.Veoma je važmo da čovek radi što voli i da je gospodar svog vremena.Topli zagrljaj.❤❤❤
Dear Nena, thank you for sharing! You have such a meaningful job, but I can imagine how hard it can be physically. Please take care, my friend ❤️
Thanks!
Thank you for your kindest support, Linda 🥰
Wow, das sieht superlecker aus! Dankeschön ❤️
I love all the styles of videos you make! I did enjoy this podcast style tonight because it allowed me to work on an illustration while still enjoying your topic.
Your previous career journeys seem to have played well in your favor. Your videos demonstrate all of those skills, a perfect storm 😊.
I also understand the unique challenges of following a career path as an introvert. Thanks again for your insight and validation.
Ana,
I think you are a great teacher. I really enjoyed 'Ana's Figments'. You taught me a lot and I enjoyed making a Christmas garland last year. You teach very calmly and quietly. I loved your approach.
You were a great jewelry model. So chic and elegant ❤
Thank you, dear Inger ❤️
Love this video, was very interesting hearing it, a bit different from your other videos 👏🩷
It would be wonderful if you taught some crafty/creative/handmade tutorials to us here on your youtube channel :) you are so talented and a very good teacher
This was a very interesting and fascinating video, dear Ana❤. Now I understand a bit more , why you have so much life experience and why you are able to convey your experiences to your community 😍👍🏽. All the Best for you and Brian ❤️
Thank you, dear Anke! ❤️
Dear Ana,I have been following your youtube channel over 2 years now but have rarely commented. When you were showing your merch, especially what you refer to as your pencil cases……I loved seeing your creativity with these unbleached canvas bags and thought “Ana, you are so talented so creative…you should at least be selling these bags for writing utensils, eating utensils (chopsticks) , paint brushes AND make up brushes!” I think it could bring you such joy, with very little outlay!” I would buy at least a couple bags within a heartbeat! You are such a creative woman, merch some of your wares for others to buy and enjoy!!” Greetings from Los Angeles and Happy Holidays 💖🎄💫✨💥🎨🎨📚📚🖋️🖍️🖌️✒️✏️Linda xx
Dear Linda, you are so sweet and kind, thank you! ❤️ I hope one day I'll get to create my own little workshop to make things and offer them to lovely people 😊 Sending love to Los Angeles!
Hi Ana, fascinating to hear about your long and varied job experiences. In my working years I probably had about 10 jobs. The first was teaching jazz at an international music school on the east coast of the U.S. I met students from all over the world and was given a lot of freedom to teach as I wanted. I was there for 8 years, but just couldn't take the cold weather and living in a big urban city (noisy, dangerous). so I moved back to CA where I had grown up. After a few years of trial and error I found part time work as a computer operator for a health insurance firm and freelanced playing music at several local restaurants and for private functions. Again, I had the freedom at both endeavors to work/perform as I wanted. Along the way I also had a couple of "side hustles" making and selling Chinese Dim Sum treats and building websites for musicians, writers, body work specialists, and other "creatives" across the country. I loved it. With gratitude I now enjoy a calm, secure, and meaningful old age.
Ted, you're a very multi-faceted person! Thank you for sharing your job experiences, they sound super interesting 😊
❤
😊😊
❤🧡💛💚
That was really interesting and I enjoyed the "podcast" format too.
I wonder how you as a minimalist feel about having worked so much in "Let's make people buy things"? A lot of digital nomads and travelling minimalists do. It feels somehow paradoxical.
I am NOT in any way accusing you of hypocrisy. Just thinking about what you think of it.
Of course that presented and still presents a moral dilemma for me, but in the situations where I couldn't find another source of income, I took the jobs that were available to me. Many people can't choose, unfortunately. With the way jobs economy works right now, there's not enough options to make a living by quitting the consumerist system. This issue is far more complicated 😅
Hi Ana! Would you be interested in teaching jewelry making? I just got inspired by your video and really want to learn 🥰
Maybe once I get all the needed supplies, but I have no idea when this will happen 😊
@@anagoldbergaww, thank you ❤
Dear Ana, is there any piece of jewelry left? I would love to purchase one ❤
Oh, thank you for being so kind! But unfortunately I don't have any jewelry to sell at the moment. Maybe sometime in future 😊
❤🧡💛💚🩵💙💜
Dearest Ana, thank you for letting us in on your career moves throughout the years. You certainly have had many interesting positions. I applaud you for knowing when to move on. I’m happy that you love content creating as you bring such joy into our lives. Stay true to yourself always. ❤️🥰😘
Thanks!
Thank you for your support, Judith ❤️
