Quiet Job Gigs Due to the Pandemic, NDX AKA Personnel Switch to Become Entrepreneurs and Farmers

Kapanlagi.com - The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has had financial effects on both NDX AKA personnel, Yonanda Frisna Damara and Fajar.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, many gig schedules have been delayed. In fact, some have been canceled, so Nanda himself had to think of alternative sources of income.

"Because of the pandemic, I had to switch gears and think of other ways. Usually, my income comes from gigs and events," Nanda said during a recent live session with KapanLagi Jaga Jarak.

1. Draining a Lot of Savings

Nanda said, for now he is indeed building a culinary business. However, because of that, he had to drain a lot of his savings to make his business run.

"Well, because there are no jobs, I have to drain my savings to build a restaurant or a food stall in front of my house. But it hasn't launched yet, still being prepared, maybe it will open soon," said this man from Yogyakarta.

2. Farming

Meanwhile, unlike his colleagues, Fajar himself admitted that during the pandemic he always spent his time planting fruit trees in his backyard. He also admitted that sometimes he sells the results of his plants and sometimes enjoys them himself.

"I can say that it's a new hobby for me, a light and simple hobby. I happen to enjoy planting during my free time, especially planting fruit trees. Well, the results are quite good for harvesting," said Fajar.

3. Not Found Suitable Business

In addition, Fajar himself does have a desire to open his own business like what Nanda did. However, he still hasn't found the right moment and what kind of business he will pursue in the future.

"If it's about starting a business, I want to, but not now, maybe later. It's easy, still looking for a suitable business and waiting for the right time," he concluded.
