Peter: You know Rachel, I feel truly blessed to do what I do for a living.
Rachel: Oh yeah? You know not many people have that opportunity to actually
love what they do. So you’re really lucky.
Peter: I can’t tell you, because I’d have to kill you. No, I’m not a secret agent. I’m a
freelancer so I do lots of different things. I guess you could say I’m a jack-of-all-
trades.
Rachel: You’re like a renaissance man. You can do anything and everything.
Peter: Some of them. You know, I think in any walk of life, you like some people,
you don’t like some people, but I’m fortunate enough that I don’t spend too long
in any one place. So if I don’t like someone, I’m just going to a different job.
Rachel: I do like what I do. You know, I worked as a news anchor at a radio
station and I absolutely loved it, because basically I was getting paid to learn, to
put it simply, right? Because I was reading about the news, current events and I
was learning about the world while I was getting paid to do it.
Rachel: Exactly.
Rachel: Thank you. So I did a lot of editing and also translating, which helped me
a lot, say, for doing domestic news, so Korean into English translations, so I
learned a lot in that sense too.
Peter: That’s interesting. I don’t think there are too many people who are like us.
Maybe people watching this will be saying, “I hate my job”, but just stick with it
and something will come of it.
