  Each day, we are placed in a box of yet another personality type, yet another social class, yet another body type, and so on. It’s almost as if people have stopped believing that there is a possibility of being it all or being anything else other than what has been established.

"Jack of all trades but a master of none",   is all we remember from the quote, and we forget that it is still better than a master of one. While other divisions may develop discreetly, the most evident is segregation based on professional success, which is defined by society only on the basis of materialism and other superficial factors. There are also several additional factors, such as the age at which a person should be successful, the type of assets a person should own, the years of sustenance and advancement, and so on. But, at such a young age, is mainstream commercial success the only success that matters? Success Is a By-...

In fact, a study by ResumeBuilder.com states, 69% of remote workers have a second job; 37% of them have a second full-time job while 32% have a side hustle. From running an independent small business to picking up contract-based work from multiple organizations, one job no longer seems to be enough for a majority of the workforce in 2022.

Usually the second job is done after hours, ie, at night...
