@miarosemcgrath: Why I’m choosing the wealth game instead #financialfreedom #careers #creatorceo @Hannah 👩🏻‍💻 Caveat: often low status jobs are higher risk and I obviously still advocate for people pursuing high paid roles + corporate !! Just an interesting take to think about

my current regret is not pursuing a job as a plumber/electrician/carpenter. I would have specialised in delivering services for single women households.

At work, I don’t care about the title. I have career shifted laterally 4x. I’m earning more than some directors in Big 4 and to me that’s a lot better than chasing the career ladder.

Ooh so this is what it is. I’m currently low status high income, I have really lowered my expenses because I’m building my own home from the ground up. But I’m quietly doing it and not letting any of my friends around. They talk too much and do nothing at all 🙄

I would not care. I keep saying that I would like to be a cleaner if it was paid better

Totally relate to this - I recently changed sectors from something deemed ‘cool’ to construction/public sector and I’ve had a huge pay rise but at first was embarrassed to tell people?? Had to check my ego and get over myself 😂

maybe it’s wishful thinking but the perception of content creation being low status may change over time as more people in society understand the industry and recognise it as a legitimate job

If we push this point hard enough, and I believe we could - we would redefine wealth and well-being altogether and transform our economic systems.

So true, so much of it is “status” even if the income is LOW

Same thing for me. I was a channel sales manager in Tech. Money and status. Now I'm in real estate. Very low status and I struggle with that perception on my ego everyday

Reduced stress too. Not climbing the corporate ladder subconsciously ending up less pay per your because you’re so overworked

honestly as long as the pay is good and the work actually keeps my brain engaged, I’m fine, I just haven’t been able to find something that checks both boxes without the status attached to it.
