It’s hard to avoid being stressed when your job is not secure. My casual data entry job is great but could terminate at any time without explanation or warning. My success is based on maintaining a certain level of traffic to my websites and blogs. Search results are out of my hand so I have no control over how many people get to read my articles. It’s hard to sustain any sort of happiness when you’re not sure when the money is going to dry up. Does casual employment kill? Not directly but over a long period of time…..probably.
I’m hoping my self-proclaimed data entry position starts paying like a full time job soon. I certainly put in enough hours to expect a better return. If I was working on a more casual basis then I’d be happy to receive the pay I’m getting now, but I’m busting my gut and for what? Nothing….or almost nothing. If I didn’t enjoy entering data so much I’d be more annoyed than I am at the moment. Casual data entry jobs cause more workers to become ill and despondent. I don’t know if that’s true but it sure does sound dramatic, doesn’t it?
