i'm a student so technically i'm unemployed, but i did do a video translation work as some sort of a side gig recently. it was for youtube videos of a korean pro fighting game player, and he has some moderate amount of western viewers so he needs english subtitles for his videos. the former translator (which i happen to be close with) had to quit to focus on his study, and he introduced me to him.
i got fired after 6 months but honestly i will say i didn't do a terrible job, i even saw some people in the comments pointing out how clever some of the subtitles are! but i was just a bit too slow doing it, trying to sync the subs to milliseconds level...
while translation isn't what i study for, (it kind of came naturally as i learned english) i was trying to figure out if my academic path is actually what i want and if i actually want to devote this much effort for just a job at the time, and this was a great experience for me as it taught me not "fully working hard" might actually be okay. i always felt like i was such a lazy person for not "fully trying" because of how society heavily weighs jobs
