  不是迫於生存,而是不甘平庸!
  
  斜/槓/青/年──Slash是一種生活態度!

  開始選擇一種能夠利用自身專業和才藝,經營多重身分的多職人生。
  這些人都擁有一個共同的名字:斜槓青年/Slash。
  
  對於一個斜槓青年最重要的是:
  不是身兼很多種賺錢的方式,而是擁有許多真正熱愛的事物。
  透過不同管道,讓你的才華和機會超/展/開!

  斜槓青年並不浪漫,但可能精采。
  他們投資的不是財富,而是自己人生的故事────
  一邊做設計同時開書店、從事攝影也是健身教練、寫程式邊做Youtuber……
  如今全球斜槓青年的故事已越堆越厚,如果你還未上路,那你該緊張了。

  未必要辭職去旅行,
  拋棄麵包追逐詩與遠方。
  但是你該捫心自問,
  除了一份安穩的工作,你還會什麼?
  如果世界是精采的,
  當你delete人生的其他選擇,自然就沒得選擇。
  你要做一隻在猴群裡爬樹的魚?還是也同時痛快地游水!
  讓現在的業餘愛好,成為你未來謀生的手段!

  從今以後,按自己的方式生活!
