My undergrad yielded a BA in International Business, which essentially means nothing. My day job is currently in finance, but I work right alongside peons with no education. I turn wrenches at night for a little extra cash and to convince myself I'm not squandering my life doing something I hate. I've held a lot of other titles over the years, though. Basically, if I decide I want to do something, I search and learn how to do it, then I go do it. In the past 5 years I've found work doing: Web design/SEO/advertising
Finance
Auto service tech
Restaurant operator
Restaurant server
Executive assistant for the owner of a local outfitter chain
Buying/selling cars and car parts
Warehouse work
Bounty hunting
Construction/home interior renovation
Pool table installer
Pinball machine/arcade game maintenance tech I feel my opinions come from a broad range of experiences. When the economy is bad (I live in Birmingham, AL, and our city is bankrupt), I follow the cash, even if that means installing heavy slab pool tables for $50/day. I'm ready to leave this broke-ass city, but without a clear direction or another job lined up, I'm somewhat stuck here.
Cheers,

useful than a life spent doing nothing." George Bernard Shaw |
