One Person / Multiple Careers
“斜杠青年”正在逐渐成为年轻人职业发展的趋势
 
On a warm autumn evening in Hong Kong, the doors are about to open to an art show at a gallery between the streets of Sai Ying Pun. Gedvile Bunikyte is among the crowd, introducing her latest works on exhibit. However, her talents extend to far more than her beautifully geometric (几何图形的) artworks. “I’m known as an artist / yoga instructor / writer / activist,” she says with a grin that conveys her humble confidence.
Bunikyte is what is known as a “slasher” — not someone who kills people in horror movies, but someone who has multiple talents, which she has turned into professional careers, each separated by a “slash” in her job title.
____1____ An increasing number of work-related labels are attached to each individual — and not just in the creative field. The slasher culture has infiltrated (悄悄进入) every industry. The “lawyer / fashion blogger” combination may seem contradictory to some, but makes perfect sense to multi-passionate millennials (千禧一代).
____2____ Slash careers are an interesting concept when it comes to work-life balance and satisfaction. As Nigel Marsh discusses in his TED Talk, work-life balance has little to do with time spent in areas, but more to do with fulfillment across various areas that make up feelings of balance in one’s life.
Slash careers can also make you more desirable to an employer. ____3____ Companies are always looking for self-starters and innovators on their teams to help them get to the next level. People who have taken the initiative to develop a slash career are more likely to bring those qualities into their office.
Furthermore, it’s no secret that millennials are struggling with money. In a recent national financial literacy (素养) survey, Americans aged between 18 and 34 did worse than any other age group. They had higher rates of being late with mortgage (抵押贷款) payments, overdrawing checking accounts (活期存款账户), and having trouble with medical costs. ____4____
The possibilities of slash career options are truly limitless. However, Marci Alboher, the author who popularized the phrase “slash career,” believes it’s better to deeply immerse oneself in a particular career, and then layer in another slash. ____5____ I began as a mental health counselor, which spun off (脱离) into coaching and led to consulting opportunities. Eventually, I made money from my blog and became a social media influencer. When I graduated, I could never have predicted my career path.
(节选自BBC)

C. It has become common today for people to have a hard time describing what they do for a living.
D. People with slash careers are those making multiple income streams from different careers at the same time.
E. For many, the thought of taking on a traditional linear (直线式的) career path is enough to bring on a wave of anxiety.
F. It got me thinking that slash careers could be a step in the right direction for millennials looking for greater work-life satisfaction.
G. A slash career might not help with the financial literacy, but it could help pay some of those bills.
