Money Box Live: Chasing a Dream
Listen now
Description
Not every dream job has an obvious route to success, so how do you make your passion project pay without falling behind on your bills? Visa research shows that around 45% of Gen Zs (people born between the late1990s and the early 2010) have a side hustle, but it's not just for the cash. More than a quarter of those are working at a passion project. So how do you make it if you want a career in comedy or to bag an Olympic gold? Do you have to tell your boss if you're doing extra work on the side? And what should you do about tax? Today we're talking to an Olympian who worked as a custody officer, a comic book writer who worked in a biology lab and an aspiring DJ who's on a zero-hours bar contract. Felicity Hannah is joined by Jack Gamble, Director and CEO of the Campaign for the Arts and employment lawyer Rupa Mooker. Presenter: Felicity Hannah Producer: Sarah Rogers & Catherine Lund Editor: Jess Quayle (First broadcast 3pm Wednesday 31st July 2024)
