  • Résumé

  • How I Get By is a show about what happens when the pursuit of happiness meets the pursuit of a paycheck. It’s a show about how people stay afloat—whether it’s with a dream job or a B.S. one, a job from hell or… no job.

    Epis.#44: Going Where the Work is- an American Architect in Paris
    Aug 15 2020
    Nick Morof works for an architecture firm in Paris. Just a year out of architecture school at USC, he’s already established a solid career path, thanks to strategic internships in Detroit, Tokyo and the one in Paris that led to his current full-time salaried position. He talks about the strict Parisian quarantine protocol he lived through (fortunately his roommate has parents they escaped to outside the city), living in tiny apartments, and the self-driven qualities that served him well in getting through a rigorous architecture program. He also discusses how he’s been a careful spender, and why he moved abroad for work (which has a lot to do with the way that aspiring architects in the U.S. are offered a pittance for full-time work).

    Epis.#43: Christy, an Essential Worker in Albuquerque
    Jul 11 2020
    Christy works at a grocery store - part of a national chain - in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A recent college graduate, she talks about what it's been like as the Coronavirus pandemic sent shoppers into panic mode, navigating customers who don't follow public health guidelines, and the empathy involved in her job, one which she compares to being a therapist. She also talks about her mature financial strategies which allow her to start building a 401K with under $2,000 in take-home pay, and the possibility of transferring to another store, maybe in Colorado, where she may begin grad school.
