I model (straight), I make music, and coach football. Hell I get my act on too but its early.

I have a degree (BA) in psychology, and wanted to get my MA in counseling and have that my career in some form but got in a car accident that derailed any chances (at least for now) of going back to school. Things happen for a reason I guess so I apply everything I learned in school (and life) to what I do now, and without that happening I wouldn't be doing what I am doing.

I absolutely love what I do, its easy money and its sometimes pleasantly erotic. If nothing else, I love the intimacy of the fashion world, people always looking, touching. I get to see hot girls and I simply am turned on a lot. My life if pretty free, I wake up a couple times a week, go work for an hour or two, come home and hit the gym. Not much else going on, pretty simple. Although I wish I could climb Mt. Everest for a living.

The down side is I have to come up with 500 fucking dollars every month for health insurance, on top of everything else.

The last job I had that I loved was as National Outreach Educator for a small museum. It indulged my love of working with children, meeting new people; and travel.

Retired at 25? Uhm that's a little young to have made it big in the dotcom boom. What did you do win the lottery or come into a trustfund.

Anyway, I love what I do. I am finally doing the work that I was meant to do.
So ultimately you will counsel schizophrenic, French people who are claiming bankruptcy.

What do you do for a living?

IT test related type stuff

If you have a college degree, does it pertain to your current job, if not, what was your major in college?

I do, it doesn't really - I have a BA (a combination of one of the more Science oriented 'arts' as a major with literature and philosphy on the side) and did some postgrad years but didn't follow through for the bit of paper mainly because I ran out of steam and cash at the same time. *sigh* Still making excuses to myself for that one, I see

Do you like your job?


I like the mechanism of my job - that is to say I work 100% flexitime from home - which is fucking brilliant considering my other job: full-time mother. The actual job can be interesting but mostly isn't - I really just do it for bread on the table.
