It’s hard not to get depressed or upset (depending on how you view it) when you see the headlines that speak of the two per cent wage increase when the Trinidad and Tobago Central Bank announced that inflation for 2022 is at 4.1 per cent. That doesn’t make much of a difference for you. However, I will also tell people that these are subtle reminders for us to start looking into new ways to create the lives that we want to live.
The world has changed and continues to change daily. We here in Trinidad & Tobago need to start realising that we have yet to fully embrace the Digital Age and everything it has to offer.
The beautiful thing is in the Digital Age, our incomes have no cap and we are not limited by geography. Whilst we are still spoon fed by all traditional forms of education to go down the traditional career choices, digital jobs and skills are now mature enough that they should no longer be classified as risky.
These skills would allow you to land either work as a freelancer and participate in the ‘Gig Economy’ or you will be able to work for a company around the world whilst you are still physically living in T&T, getting paid in another currency. Another fun fact is that these skills will also allow you to go past “work from home” and get into the realm of “work from anywhere”.
