The Working Class
Are you still trying to figure out what you want to be when you grow up? Welcome to the working class, where we aim to figure out what everyone else does when they head off to work. How they ended up doing what they do, why they ended up doing what they do, and who knows maybe it’s something you’d like to try. What’s it like to captain a superyacht? Is being a musician all about the fame and the groupies? Is being an accountant really as boring as it sounds? From the mundane to the mind-blowing and everywhere in between, I aim to find where the truth lies, and to determine, as the old adage goes, “find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life”, or contrarily, why you should not turn your passion into a job. As an Australian career FIFO (fly in, fly out) worker I explore the options of what's out there, in my own back yard and further abroad. All music used on the podcast written, performed, recorded and produced by yours truly (unless otherwise stated), vocals performed by special guests! If you like what you hear and want to contribute some lyrics/vocals feel free to drop me a line (https://soundcloud.com/aitigi)! Tune in and have some fun! Buy me a coffee, not that I ever intended to make any money from this, keeping my guests hydrated is paramount: buymeacoffee.com/?via=theworkingclass
