They would\u00a0<strong>\u201crather have a satisfying and challenging job than a boring job with a large paycheck\u201d.<\/strong>\u00a0That might be even more important \u201cin case I do not manage to find a job which fulfils and enriches me\u201d. Which is why many people we\u2019ve interviewed had switched careers in some cases, moving from very different fields, i.e. from medicine to journalism, but also because \u201cit is important to be readier for the unexpected and keep curious about what surrounds us\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Just over one in five want to\u00a0<strong>open their mind and better understand others<\/strong>. This is often triggered by people they meet and their desire to discover other cultures, \u201cbecause it is fun and enriches your life in many ways (more than money), but also because the ability to understand other humans increases\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In many cases, this is why people felt travelling and living abroad was important to<strong>\u00a0\u201cdiscover new people, new countries, live new experiences and learn new languages &amp; skills.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>They think that \u201clife should, ultimately, be about new experiences and expanding your mind and worldviews &#8211; rather than reproduction (social or biological)\u201d, in particular when they\u2019re young as they don\u2019t imagine themselves \u201ctravelling with a group of other retired people when I\u2019m old. I\u2019d rather stay at home growing my garden and helping\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Around one in six are motivated because they want to\u00a0<strong>make social change or help others<\/strong>. They want this because they\u00a0<strong>feel a sense of mission to change the world<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cotherwise we\u2019ll face more and more troubles \u2013 poverty, sickness, nuclear catastrophe, end of cheap oil, sterile soils, dying in oceans, more slavery, civil war and pollution\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases,\u00a0<strong>these problems are much closer to home<\/strong>\u00a0like helping their \u201cfamily because they are in a difficult situation\u201d or even their own projects where they \u201cwant the values of the organisation to grow even beyond my own involvement\u201d or \u201cwant to provoke social change by making documentary films\u201d or because they want to share their passion with their child or shape the future of their city.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be showcasing Making a Living across different cities in our festival, including in London (12-13 &amp; 19-20 October) &amp; Amsterdam (19-20 October).
