Nice work if you can get it …
Perspectives talks to two people with unusual jobs …
A.
Pete: I’m the resident DJ at The Cube — the best club in Wales. Come and see for yourself. We’re open Fridays and Saturdays from 11 p.m. till late.
Elisa: I’m a fitness instructor on a cruise ship. We sail all round the world. This time last week we were in the Caribbean, and now we’re off to Asia.
B.
Pete: I never really looked for a job as a DJ — it was just a hobby. I used to love hip-hop music, so I started DJ-ing at friends’ parties. At one party there was a girl who was working at The Cube. They asked me to do an audition and that’s how I got the job.
Elisa: I used to have a part-time job teaching aerobics. But I always wanted to travel, so when I saw they were looking for someone to teach yoga and aerobics on a ship, I applied for the job and got it!
С.
Pete: I don’t work every day, but when I work, I work hard. I play here two evenings a week and I do private parties too. My friends say I’m lucky because I don’t work nine to five. But I do — the thing is I work from nine in the evening to five in the morning!
Elisa: I work incredibly hard. Believe it or not, I sometimes work fourteen hours a day! But I can take a break occasionally, and I get a few days off for sightseeing, which is great.
Pete: The money’s not great — I make about 50 pounds a night and most of that goes on buying new music. But I can’t complain. After all, I’m getting paid to do something I love.
Elisa: I don’t earn a wonderful salary, but money isn’t everything, is it? And on the ship almost everything is free, so I save most of my money.
E. .
Pete: The good thing is that I don’t have a boss. Nobody can sack me if I turn up late!
Elisa: I really like the people I work with. They’re great fun. And I visit some amazing places too. But the best thing about my job is that I have six months holiday every year!
Pete: The trouble with my job is that it’s difficult to have a good social life. My girlfriend left me last year.
She wanted to spend more time with me in the evenings, but I couldn’t because of my job,
Elisa: I love my job, but there’s a problem, I don’t earn enough money to keep a flat, so I still live with my parents. It’s a pity because I would like to be more independent. Maybe I should ask for a pay rise.
G.
Pete: No way. I love what I’m doing, but it’s a job for young people. Anyway, I think it’s good to change. You get bored if you do the same job for too long.
Elisa: I’m not sure. Maybe. I’m doing something I love and the world is a big place so there is plenty more to see. But I hope to get a promotion soon. If I don’t, I might start looking for a different job.
