Until the elite banker chooses a part-time job
One day in February, the author (housewife in her 40s) experienced the first part-time job as a test director in her life. He is a test director at a large venue with regarding 5,000 test takers. What surprised me most at that time was that most of the 200 test directors were part-time workers, and regarding 80% of them were “uncles” in their 50s and 60s.
Why is the test director a popular part-time job for middle-aged and older men? I was able to talk to Mr. A (59), who has worked part-time as a test director more than 100 times so far.
Mr. A is a part-time lecturer who teaches bookkeeping at an accounting vocational school. He goes to a vocational school regarding three days a week and earns regarding 200,000 yen a month. However, since he is part-time, he has to take out insurance and pension by himself, and there is no unemployment insurance. The actual take-home is less than 200,000 yen.
In addition, there is no income during summer vacation and spring vacation because vocational schools are closed. In the season when there are no lessons, I will surpass the glue by working part-time or dispatching. February-March, which is just the spring break, is the exam season, so on weekends I get a part-time job as an exam director for national qualifications and university entrance exams.
During this period, Mr. A is said to have registered regarding 5 companies with dispatch companies and event companies that handle test supervision so that he can get a job every weekend.
“It’s a really easy job. I did some warehouse picking work, but there are a lot of weird people. It’s an easy job because the test director doesn’t have to talk to people.”
After graduating from university, Mr. A got a job at a certain bank. He thought he was safe in the future at the time.
“At that time, financial institutions were profitable. My parents were happy to get a job at a bank. I was also transferring to a branch office, and I was wondering if I would eventually become a branch manager or something like that. It was. “
It was as if the economy was booming on the eve of the bubble. However, the workplace with a lot of entertainment was a series of penalties for Mr. A, who does not play alcohol or golf. After all, I retired around the age of 30 because my job didn’t suit me. He got a job at an accounting firm to become independent as a tax accountant, but he retired following regarding 10 years without passing the tax accountant examination.
After that, he was in charge of accounting for small and medium-sized software development companies. However, as Mr. A recalls, “A software company is a workplace centered on system engineers in their 20s and 30s. The president was also in his 30s and was 10 years younger than himself.” After taking a leave of absence for regarding a year and a half following developing the disease, he retired. He was already 50 years old.
