Monologue 1Lolita Villa, a career adviser, is giving a brief introduction to part-time work.1. It can be less than an 8-hour wok in a fast food chain, a contractual project witha company, working freelance for a publication, a little business run on the side, or working on a retainer mode for any number of employers.他可能会是在快餐食品连锁店的少于8小时的工作，和公司签订的合同项目，出版社的自由工作，额外做的小生意，或者是收取定金方式的工作。

This is due to two things: the changing corporate structure makes use of technology that requires more things to be accomplished at a faster rate than employers can hire or afford people to do it, and second, the new workforce culture is encouraging more people to take charge of their careers by going back to school, pursue larger pay checks by increasing their workload, and generally, focus less on company loyalty and more on professional self-development and self-cultivation.这是由于两种原因：技术的使用使公司结构开始改变，这样需要快速完成一些任务，而这些任务是雇员短期内无法完成的。
第二，新的劳动力文化鼓励更多的人们通过重新回到学校学习从而才能更好的进行自己的事业，通过增加自己的工作量提高自己的收入，并且人们已经不太关注对公司是否忠诚而更加关注于专业的自我发展和自我培养。
