How's it going this week?I got my dad Ian Smissen back on the podcast today and we talk about Australians getting side hustles!I found this article saying that a recent survey says that Aussies are getting into doing side jobs whilst having their full time day jobs.We talk about whether these people are driven by the Australian economy, where prices for everything is sky-high at the moment, or whether they're getting on the new trend #QuietQuitting.Quiet quitting means that an employee just does the minimum work he or she is expected of. And simply just not care for any progress.We also talk about if people would try to do side hustles back in the day. Because making extra money on the side is different back in Dad's day than it is now.Lastly, we talk about how people are seeing their side hustles. Is it really to get additional income come in? Or could it be a hobby they love doing that's starting to bring money in?Join us for another round of great chin-wagging here on the Aussie English podcast!If you're someone learning Australian English as a second language and you want to improve your pronunciation, reduce your foreign accent and sound more like an Australian when you speak English, check out my content at Aussie English!And grab my Australian Pronunciation Course here - https://www.aussieenglish.com.au/courses#australianaccent #aussieenglish #learnenglishwithpete #australianenglish #learnenglishonline  #aprenderinglêsonline #learnenglish #aussieenglishacademy #australianpodcast #languagepodcast| FOLLOW AE |- Facebook- Instagram- Website- Twitter| ENGLISH COURSES | - Australian English Pronunciation- Phrasal Verbs- Spoken English| AE ACADEMY |- Join the AE Academy| AE PODCAST |- Free Podcast- Premium Podcast*** Music from Artlist - License Number 524222 ***
