電気の勉強会、講師をしてくれた先輩の帰国日が来週になり、今回が最後になった。
I had the final study session with my senior because he will return to Japan next week.
電気の勉強というよりも少し人生の話がしたく、これまでのリーダー論だったり、エジプトでメンバーが提案してきた給与交渉の方法、わたしの今後の人生について、先輩の意見を聞いた。
Since this was the last session in a series that we started this spring, I wanted to discuss his thoughts on how I could make the most of my future life. This included his philosophy on being an ideal leader, negotiating for a higher salary, and working with an NPO to achieve my future goals.
その中で、今後の人生について、国境なき医師団での活動はほとんどボランティアであり、給料はほとんど期待できないのではと教えてもらった。参加は、FIREしてからのやることにしてもいいのでは、とも提案してもらった。
He mentioned that the income can be quite limited when working as a member of Doctors Without Borders since the work is essentially voluntary. He recommended that I consider joining the team after reaching FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early).
たしかに、それはありだと思う。FIREした後、単発的にやりたいことは決まっていても、長期的になにがしたいかが具体的に決まっていない中で、かなりいい選択なのではないかと思う。好きなこと、やりたかったことと、派遣活動を交互にやれば絶対に楽しいはず。FIRE後の姿が少し明確になってきた。
I agreed with his perspective. Currently, I only have tasks on my bucket list, and these are all short-term wishes. I haven’t decided on what I want to do for an extended period. His recommendation was very insightful, and I’m confident that I’ll be able to enjoy my retirement life by pursuing the things I’ve always wanted to do and am interested in, including volunteer work with their team. This discussion helped me define my life after achieving FIRE more clearly than ever.
To be continued.
