it’s work
For centuries, all work was “temporary”. The concept of “career” is relatively new.
Was out of work for 6 months. Took a job at a hotel as a guest services rep. (Front desk). It is fun. Was offered full time at a law firm as a legal assistant for more money. Took that job but still working part time at hotel.
Those 6 months without a job was scary. Never had a problem before finding work. Very grateful.
