1.1 Look at this person. What do you think his job is? Read his online blog and check your ideas

I am in IT. I have a job title that everybody wants right now. I have five full-time jobs, four of which are Big 4 companies. If I manage all five jobs for a year, I make around $1.2 million in a year.  


At the start of 2021, I get a new job. It pays about 170k, which is around 70k more than at my previous job. I want to keep both jobs because both are remote because of Covid-19. I play video games from 8 am to 4 pm and sit in online meetings hardly paying attention. 


In April, I open my resume to the world on LinkedIn. By June, I find a job 2 at $82/hour. Wow! Two jobs! I am so happy with the money, terrified of meetings, and horrified if my bosses find out about each other. There are around 4 hours of meetings each day for job 2. I suffer through them, but I agree to a job 3. I have 3 jobs now. 


In October I find 2 more jobs with $4200 and $3500 salaries a month. It's not that much money, but the jobs are not difficult.
