In this episode…
In the 21st Century jobs don't last forever. Increasingly, they're not even called jobs anymore. We now live in a Gig Economy, and Dr. Chaz Austin is here to show you how to survive and thrive, gig after gig.
In this episode of An Unconventional Life, Dr. Chaz Austin and Dr. Russell Strickland talk about the Gig Economy and the freedom it can create for folks with doctoral degrees. Dr. Austin demonstrates how workers in the Gig Economy are de facto businesses. In this paradigm, workers now have two distinct responsibilities: to do their work and to find more work. Although this may seem more complicated, Dr. Austin makes the case that gig work offers far more autonomy and freedom than employment.
With entire sectors of our economy switching over to gig mode, it's critical that you adapt now before you find yourself priced out of employment and unable to win a gig.
