Slash Lifestyle: Exploring the Hidden Self
Doing what you are interested in is the key to a successful slash lifestyle.
The recent advancement of information technology, globalization, change in the business context and online opportunity has drastically changed the way people work. Nine-to-five jobs are becoming obsolete, and many employees are becoming independent workers, such as freelancers.
