Even newsletters are getting personal damn!

In contrast with Shaurya I am struggling to find a job at the moment. With Bachelor's in Engineering and Master's in Business and Sustainability, I have done it all. To transition into the climate realm I have done customer support, ESG analytics, climate research, consulting and recently content creation, social media... you get the gist! Whether it's me failing at marketing myself or companies not trusting the multi-talented potential, I have been struggling af to even land an interview. I love having many talents, but I feel like the world isn't ready for that

As someone who majored in media studies and math, I completely understand this sentiment. Even outside of my studies, I sometimes feel like my interests are all over the place, and rightfully so because they most definitely are. But I like how you mention the value of not letting work consume 100% of your time. I think that’s part of the solution for existing as a multi-passionate person in addition to not feeling the need to totally identify with these interests from a professional standpoint. Just because you like to produce music and there might be a moment where you’re compensated for your knowledge in this field doesn’t mean you have to pressure yourself into identifying as a music producer. You just happen to be someone with knowledge of music production. That’s it. Unless you wish to go deeper in this expression. And the same goes for anyone studying or exploring anything they find interesting or cool.
