Photo by @gabrielegalimbertiphoto - From the project FIRST JOB - One’s first job is rarely forgotten. It is the beginning of adulthood, a rite of passage and a turning point. For numerous workers, only 30 years ago, the first job was often the only one, as people could remained in the same company for a lifetime, just being gradually promoted or slightly changing ones positions with seniority. In today’s scenario all is temporary, as the dream of a life position has forever vanished. Usually the first job is the first of a long list that will follow. In the wake of the worst economic crises in modern history, where for many young adults there seemed to be actually no possibility for a first job at all, I explore the world of employment of today’s youth. This is a project that will be carried out in all the 5 continents where the global theme does not obscure, but actually heightens the local specificities. Each one of the subjects whose portrait has been taken has an individual story that feeds into a larger narrative on how the world we live in is changing. From China to France, from Brazil to the U.S. we get a personal introduction to tomorrow’s workforce /// Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica – Maria , 20 - Maria was born and raised in Alajuela, where she studied biology for one year at university. That one year was all she needed to realize that she didn't want to be a biologist, because she wanted to work with the animals instead, a job she knew she’d love. That was why she decided to move to Puerto Viejo, where there is a sort of animal hospital, where she applied for a job. After 6 months as a volunteer, she was given a contract. In those 6 months she specialized in “parrot and monkey rescue.” “I love to work here. It is a magical place. Every day many people come here and bring us injured animals that they’ve found on the street. We rescue them, and when they are ready, we set them free in the forest.” She works 5 days a week for about 8 hours a day. She makes USD 150 per week, but she gets a lot of tips from tourists who go there to visit. What’s more, she’s given meals and is able to live in a house on the hospital property. @jaguarrescuecentercr
