Right now I am unemployed but in my 2 summers of working I worked at a dairy which I didnt really like all that well at first but miss it now. Then I worked at the hardware store for the summer after my senior year but got laid off because there wasnt enough work to do, I was the second yard guy. Right now I am looking for a jon that I would like such as anything ag related like dairy work, feed stores, horticulture, that kind of thing.
 The bad thing is I didnt graduate high school because I was too busy with shows and work and I had a crazy life at home.

Before I joined the military, I worked at a momandpops hardware store in South Florida.  I learned so much from the owner and the co-workers there.  The only time I learned MORE about hardware is when I bought a house.  Not that I am Mr. Handyman by any means (far from it haha).

You should consider getting a GED or goto night school, Lophura.  I'm sure it will open up more doors once you get that out of the way.  The job market is so saturated with applicants these days that you may see a lot overqualified applicants pursing jobs.  So, you might be competing with applicants with phD's in Diary Science for the "diary work!" LOL.  Anyways, the GED may give you an edge over other applicant, who knows?

So...bro, not to give advice you may not want (now I only went to college 2 yrs)...but bro..

get the GED now...do not get it when you're 25 ...employers will almost ask , why? What happened in the 7 years between 18-25....

if you get it now, you can just tell them ...well I was in a different place...

don't wait...get it off the radar..

if you can!

I work in a lingerie shop where I keep inventory on all of the products that come in.  Occasionally I will get asked to model some of the latest styles.

During the evening I work in an ice cream shop where we deliver the icecream toyour car on roller skates.  Just trying to keep the old times alive.

......ok now that my dream is over, I work as a manager of a floorcovering store and I also work part time in a funeral home.  Yes both are very interesting.

cpa and forensic accountant

What is a forensic account!?  I googled it and am still confused HAHA.  So, you would be the guy from the bank to collect money that was stolen by a bank robber if he were caught??  I had a vision of an accountant with a lab coat and beakers and stuff when I first saw your post.

Check this out,

Well this is not what >> I << do for a living, but this was made on the equipment I fix for a living:




I made this with a SEM microscope using a FIB (focused ion beam) to mill the letters.  I milled it one line at a time.  Once you start overlapping it has a tendency to collapse (it's like digging sand at the beach).

I really messed up the "B."  It looks more like another "G."  I don't normally "operate" these tools.  I just fix them.  I just happened to be calibrating the image and got a little carried away!

Each one of the letters is around 2 micron (2 millionths of a meter) in width.

Very nice bro!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.
