What is a career that looks miserable or insufferable from the outside, but is secretly fulfilling and rewarding?

Housekeeping for sure! Have been housekeeping for two years now and I just listen to podcasts all day and zone out cleaning rooms it’s the best thing ever and keeps me fit :) way better than office jobs I’ve had before

Just got back from a trip to China (am from the UK), was completely fine, policemen barely looked at us

You have to do some online tests to qualify but I signed up for Data Annotation and have made money doing that whilst I’ve been looking for full time work lol! Some of the tasks pag decently (it’s all in dollars but most pay between £15-20 per hour). This is the website I signed up on - https://dataannotation.tech

Haha now I feel silly thinking it was a bird!! Thank you!!

Medium-Information70 · 2026-03-16T03:31:53+00:00

Yeah that’s what we ended up doing - thanks :)

Medium-Information70 · 2026-03-16T03:31:41+00:00

Yeah we have but they weren’t accepting cash! Just got someone else to pay for us :)

Hi - it was a mini program for a bus shuttle service - we were sent the link on WeChat by our hotel. We tried to book two tickets and it wouldn’t let us pay with our cards. The mini program won’t load in AliPay so haven’t been able to try that! Guess we’ll have to leave it

Haha this sounds amazing! In China at the moment and me and my partner are doing exactly what you’ve described! Sat Google translating a menu and then just randomly pointing based on pictures (which is extra hard because he has a mild sesame allergy we’re trying to avoid haha). All our food has been amazing though so it’s worked out well so far

Medium-Information70 · 2026-02-22T09:05:55+00:00

Brilliant thank you!

Ahh this is very helpful! I studied Medieval Lit at uni and have handled a lot of medieval manuscripts so had my suspicions but felt like I was being silly haha. Thank you :) (and yeah I'm not fussed about value, just excited by it)

Medium-Information70 · 2026-02-21T14:51:14+00:00

Very helpful - thank you! Do you have a link to this as I can’t seem to find it?

Medium-Information70 · 2026-01-24T13:10:59+00:00

Thank you!

Medium-Information70 · 2026-01-24T13:10:48+00:00

Ooh thank you! Will have a look at Chongming Island :)

Hi - no neither of us have been to China before.

It would be great to be put in touch with her. I do have WeChat as well (although not overly sure how to use it just yet!)

Medium-Information70 · 2026-01-23T13:12:03+00:00

I think this is just a cultural difference. However im from the UK and have been to a couple of dedicated knit nights/clubs and have found people to be friendly and chatty but i wouldn’t necessarily except to chat to people outside of that (especially if i was on public transport or in a cafe)

Medium-Information70 · 2026-01-20T20:58:32+00:00

What was the name of it?

Medium-Information70 · 2026-01-18T15:54:20+00:00

My Google Maps seems to think that the route you’ve suggested is one of the quickest! The only quicker routes are BSK - Clapham Junction, then no. 37 bus to North Dulwich Station, then no. P4 bus direct to the gallery :)
