Mia Tramz had to work through high school and college, so she started in the restaurant industry. But from the time she was 12 years old, she wanted to be a photo editor, and she put everything into getting there. Most of the time, her career was centered around visual storytelling. First, she was a photo editor, then she had the opportunity to build a virtual-reality department at TIME. But there came a moment when she felt like she accomplished what she wanted to accomplish in that career, and that was the moment she decided to change careers.
米娅·特拉姆兹必须在高中和大学期间工作,所以她开始在餐饮业工作。但从她12岁起,她就想成为一名剪辑师,她为此付出了一切。大多数时候,她的职业生涯都围绕着视觉叙事展开。首先,她是一名剪辑师,然后她有机会在《时代》杂志建立一个虚拟现实部门。但有一刻,她觉得自己完成了她想要在那个职业中完成的事情,就是在那时,她决定换职业。
Now Mia’s working on an organic farm. She calls the first part of her career “inside work.” But she always had a deep love of being outside, so she wondered: “Could I be paid to be outside all day?” She tried many jobs outside over the past four years and finally farming caught her attention. She said, “There are endless things to learn. If you’re a curious person, you’ll never get to the end of your learning.”
现在米娅在一个有机农场工作。她称自己职业生涯的第一部分是“内部工作”。但她一直非常喜欢户外活动,所以她想:“我能在外面呆一整天吗?”在过去的四年里,她在外面尝试了很多工作,最终农业引起了她的注意。她说:“有无数的东西要学。如果你是一个好奇的人,你的学习就永远不会结束。”
As a farm worker, Mia starts her typical workday with a team meeting to talk through what needs to be done that day, and people are assigned different jobs. It could be harvesting, transplanting, seeding, or doing fieldwork, of which are a lot of physical labor and repetitive tasks. Mia says her favorite farm task is driving a tractor. “I never in a million years imagined I would. The learning curve is steep, and it can be dangerous—you need a good teacher,” said Mia.
作为一名农场工人,米娅以一个团队会议开始她典型的工作日,讨论当天需要做什么,人们被分配不同的工作。它可以是收获、移植、播种,或者做田野工作,这些都是大量的体力劳动和重复的任务。米娅说她最喜欢的农活是开拖拉机。“我万万没想到我会这样。学习开拖拉机的路线很陡峭,而且可能很危险——你需要一位好老师。”
Here are some advice from Mia for kids who want to work in agriculture: There are many different types of agriculture, and within each type, there are infinite jobs. Maybe you’re not into growing vegetables or caring for livestock, but you are into car maintenance or building. Many things need maintenance on a farm. In addition, farms always need help. Look for volunteer opportunities or part-time jobs during the summer, and try a lot of different things to figure out where you want to fit in.
以下是米娅对想从事农业工作的孩子们的一些建议:农业有许多不同的类型,在每种类型中,都有无限的工作。也许你不喜欢种菜或养牲畜,但你喜欢汽车维修或建筑。农场里很多东西都需要维护。此外,农场总是需要帮助。在暑假期间寻找志愿者或兼职工作的机会,并尝试许多不同的事情来找出你想要融入的地方。
