It has been a few days that I was so busy having a part-time job. I thought it would be great to work offline and teach Koreans in an academy. Thus, I work as a bee in a Korean school and online. At first, I felt enjoying to teach the English language out from my comfort zone. Now, I feel bored working with this school.
"Is it important to find a good job?"
"Does it need to be based on our passion and interest?"
"What do you do with this situation?"

It is very good if we can match passion with job but all the time not possible

If you are bored then shake it up, make teaching fun and not boring. Teach them jokes in English as well as what they need to learn.
I have never did the work that is my passion because it won`t pay my bills, I do it on the side, after work, then if I am lucky enough I will one day sell some of it.

You have a point. I have stable online teaching at present. For me, I just wanted to explore another job and this time, it should be offline. You have a point that we cannot able to pay bills by chasing our personal's interest and passion. We need to be practical in some way in our life.

You should have a goal. It is so rewarding when people learn something thanks to you I can assure you.

It would be nice if all of us had a job where all our passions and affinities are all together, however it doesn't happen that often. I say that you gotta find something that is rewarding in your job so you can still be interested in it and not feeling bored.

@Shavkat I agree with you. I hope you can find another job that inspires you more. :) Don't worry you will find it. It is like finding true love, we make so many mistakes and meet wrong people, then we finally find the right one for us.

@jvicentevalera I did find a good niche in teaching online. However, I wanted to have a part-time job offline. It has been a long time being a virtual teacher and I wanted to work in a company or an institution. How about you? Do you find a good niche?

I always want a job that I enjoy working on because you can`t work good if you don`t enjoy what you`re doing

@m_audrey6788 I will not argue about that. It is a fact of not finding a suitable job especially in our country

Teaching English is your forte. Wonder why you suddenly find it boring.

@Shavkat I understand. You do not have a free hand and that can be quite stifling

@allknowing You said it right. Honestly, I am staying just for the money. It sounds bad but that's what going on now.

It's a good thing that you asked this question. It is my cup of tea, my friend. The reason why I felt bored with these students offline is the academy treats them like babies. The bottom line is that I cannot push or impose what I need them to do.

It's always nice to find an exciting job but sometimes one can't find one and they need the money so they may work for the money.

@1hopefulman I do agree with you. It happens in the real world that people need to stay a particular job to have money in their pockets.

Before I really wanted to work as a call center and I did, it lasted for more than 5 years including the call center hopping. I really like talking to American people and at the same time helping them.
Then I wanted to stop and try the nonvoice kind of job. And I end up being a VA. And I like doing some office stuff virtually.
Sometimes we need to look for our passion, the one that we are good at it. It helps us build ourselves and do something progressively.

Honestly, I had worked and be connected to companies offline. It is in-line to my profession but the earning is not desirable. Along the process of searching, I realized that it is best to have a stable online job and that is teaching the English language. Now, I am starting to find a regular job in a company that will serve as a backup.
