Mirai-tan 04

Being sad about not having enough moola to get herself a Tamaki DD in Mira-tan 03, Mirai-chan starts thinking about a part time job.
Part time job is "Arubauto" [アルバイト] and I recommend absolutely everybody to go through the experience of having a part time job.

My particular arubaito as a student back in the UK was working as a waiter at a Japanese restaurant - tough hours, low pay and challenging customers helped prepare me for the step into society. It's a tough world out there. Nobody is going to give it to you so prep yourself and go get it on your own - by starting with a tough part time job ^^

For most of my student life, I had some sort of part time job - translating or making stuff and wot not. I also worked at another Japanese restaurant in Bond street and as ground staff at Heathrow airport for Japan Airlines.
I hear too much about students these days relying on their parents for income with the excuse that they don't have time for part time work. I managed to pass with first class honors and yet worked at times until midnight after university each day - sometimes 7 days a week. The money I saved up helped me come to Japan every year to absorb the culture that I fell in love with. I didn't expect or want any moolah from my parents at all - they have given enough to raise me.

Relying on ones parents for income will get you in the comfort zone and we all know that the comfort zone is bad. Read this article if you don't know what the comfort zone is.

Do you or did you have a part time job and if so what did you do?
