Virtual Work Revealed

A choice to work while you are on Second Life is something that comes almost to pass when you have this need to do anything where you feel a reason to log on everyday. It is not necessary to some to ever work while others want to extend their life on here by being in the virtual work environment. People will first do jobs at clubs to make lindens in order to buy things or pay for rent on land/houses they are living in on here. I had worked for a club as my very first job experience on here. I'd made the mistake of working too many hours per day that topped at 12 hours some days. You come to the realization that this job just ain't worth spending majority of your awake time being basically a slave to a virtual job that you have to quit it. I was burnt out for about 3 months before I left that club job then took me 2 months to even find myself applying for another club job. There has to be limits set for yourself if you decide to do work on Second Life because otherwise your virtual life will become just as stressful as real life. One of the reasons to be on Second Life is to sort of escape all the stuff that plagues you in real life. Working on here ain't worth getting yourself sick over even if you need the lindens to support your virtual lifestyle. Right now I currently hold 3 jobs in this realm and I have been content so far. I have found that modeling on here is the best outlet for me in the form of working. However, I have taken up a hostess job once again at a new club which has become a place full of energy that I feed upon while working to keep me happy there. When choosing a job on here, you have to make sure that you have set schedule where you still have time for other things in both worlds and there are rules in place to follow. I can't even express how much rules are needed in the virtual workplace since I have worked for a place that rules I thought were rock steady set in place ended up being changed or broken by other staff members but the owner didn't even care. I'd also like to express how you need to work for a place that respects all of the staff as well as the customers because respect matters more than lindens after all. Not many know what to expect before they enter jobs on here but you will learn quick enough where you don't want to work, how long you don't need to work, and when to just take a break from working.
