What Job Would You Do For Free?

Daily writing prompt
What job would you do for free?

Take care of yourself first.
Then help others without expecting anything in return.
The results may surprise you.

Something I enjoy doing is mentoring others. It’s not really a job because I don’t get paid for it, and it’s not volunteer work, either. I don’t commit a certain number of hours to mentoring. I just help when help is needed.

By sharing life experiences, we can be the mentor/big sister/big brother that other people need if they feel a bit lost in life. We can give them a heads up on how to tackle the challenges in life.

By sharing work experiences, we help those with less work experience to improve their skills and avoid repeating the mentor’s mistakes.

This “job” is very rewarding. The reward is the “pay” itself. Being a mentor is a job I would do for free.

    I like your thought process and it resonates with me. I also feel very happy when someone who I mentored becomes successful in their pursuit. A lot of people have helped me in the past without expecting anything in return and it is only fair for me to pay it forward. I started my blog because I realized even if I can inspire one person to improve their career, that would be well worth it.

    I love people with this kind of outlook on life. It seems like as I grow older the world speeds up faster and faster. The byproduct of this I feel is what can I get for something in return which I’ve definitely have fallen victim to this way of thinking. Photography is something I love to do and its serves as a great reminder for me to slow down. I feel like if some random people were to come up to me on the street and ask for a photo, I wouldn’t hesitate to do that for them because it’s something I love to do and honestly, I wish to share with others regardless of payment being involved.

      The world does seem to speed up as we get older. It would be so nice of you to offer to take pictures for people!
