🎙️ Ever wondered how someone goes from law to Latin, politics to podcasting?
Join me, Oliver, as I share the unexpected twists and turns of my career, from quitting my job as a lawyer to teaching Latin, and now, moving to Spain to focus on teaching English online. 🌍✈️
In this episode, I’ll be rating my previous jobs (including some awful ones!), sharing why I walked away from a legal career, and reflecting on what I’ve learned from job-hopping. Plus, there’s a cliffhanger—because this story is too big for just one episode! 🎬
💡 What we cover in this episode:
✔️ The worst jobs I’ve ever had (and why retail nearly broke me!)
✔️ My time in UK Parliament and why I didn’t stay in politics
✔️ Why I left law (even though it paid really well!)
✔️ Teaching: The best job I’ve ever had—but also why I left
✔️ Moving to Spain and my new career plans
✔️ Workplace happiness vs. salary—what really matters?
If you’re feeling stuck in your job, thinking about a career change, or just curious about different career paths, this episode is for you!
