After struggling financially post-university, the author discovered secret shopping, allowing her to enjoy luxurious experiences while earning income. Initially only eligible for small jobs, consistent work and detailed reporting helped build her reputation over time. After six months, she began receiving higher-paying assignments, which ultimately provided much-needed assistance in managing her expenses. Despite the benefits, a single complaint about the job drove her to eventually quit this peculiar form of work, after 11 years of participating in it.
Treating myself to a night out or a day snowboarding felt out of reach, and I couldn't imagine any way around it until I saw an ad for secret shopping.
The shopping part was only half the job; the other half was writing thorough reports about every part of the experience.
It took me six months to prove I was reliable, and that's when I started landing more advanced gigs, including one for a high-end clothing store.
My one complaint about it was also why I finally quit.
