Giving up holidays to pursue a career, to make ends meet and to travel off-season. The choice of 3 women
The August exodus when the cities emptied and finding an open shop was practically impossible is just a distant memory. It is estimated that around 6 million people will spend the summer at home this year.
For some it is a choice. There are those who take the opportunity to enjoy less chaotic cities, those to organize off-season holidays and those who manage to seize good job opportunities.
Lights and shadows of Federica, Cecilia and Aurora's summer work
Federica, Cecilia and Aurora are 3 Italian women who have replaced relaxation with work. It is true, something they had to deprive themselves of. But the city emptied of traffic and stress of those who live there also reserves pleasant surprises.
Federica and her "golden" summer of work
Federica, 23 years old, Uber driver partner. He has a license for public transport and a license for rental with driver. Thanks to the application Uber Driver takes the rides of people who move to Rome.
The month of August is a golden period for drivers. With the Uber application, Federica can independently choose when and how much to work. There is no shortage of work and the girl's goal is to set aside a nice nest egg to renovate the house and organize a big birthday party for her little girl.
Cecilia has turned her passion for dogs into a job
Cecilia, 22 years old, dog sitter. He wanted to supplement his income and so he turned a passion into a job. She is a dog sitter while the owners are on vacation. It is a pleasant responsibility. In a short time you become the point of reference for the person who entrusts you with his pet and for the dog itself.
The girl shares her summer of work with her partner. Together they opened the doors of their home to four-legged friends. They spend their days walking with dogs without the traffic and frenzy of the rest of the year around.
Aurora and her summer of work dedicated to students with debt
Aurora, 39, teacher of Italian, history, geography and Latin in high school. His summer of work is dedicated to students who have to settle the debt to be recovered in September.
Giving summer reps, for Aurora, is a way to round up. An additional income is always handy! Furthermore, few children participate in remedial courses and therefore there is a greater possibility of a closer relationship with the students, having more time to follow them individually.
