Only purpose of side projects was suppose to be fun or learn something at the end of it. I don't understand why is there an increasing trend to do a side project with a goal of becoming rich.
- petargyurov 5y agoI fully agree with you but here's my take on why this is a phenomenon: 1. People like making money when they shouldn't be; we live under the pretense that the only way to earn money is via your day job. A side-hustle makes things exciting. It's like finding treasure. 2. Pair the above with the rise of social media and the lifestyles people portray on there: success, money, etc. 3. Perhaps there is an actual movement away from "normal" jobs, leading to a mentality shift in which people simply want to be financially independent.
