Yup.
I always wanted to work in the ski industry. Always thinking about my eventual ‘’move’’ in my 20s. My friends already working within it forcefully advised, no, told me to stay in my lane.
Do we self-employed/IC’s make a majority here?
ETA props to those of you that do make it work in the industry
