Default What was your first job? How did you get it? How'd you get your current job?

When I am getting a first job, are the people going to ask me "Have you had any experience?" It seems like one of those questions you answer in "I do that stuff at home" If I'm going to college, and have to pay so much money for it, how will I get the money if I am only a teenager?

Burger King. Cleaning the grill. Hamburger flipper was way up the ladder!

Pastor. That grill cleaning training comes in handy sometimes!

I was asked. I had been a business owner and became CEO when we incorporated. I retired and planned on taking it easy. My church asked me if I was tired of sleeping in and I said, "Yes." The church is large enough that more than one pastor is needed. My responsibility is administration, technical stuff, and some specific ministries. I don't preach every Sunday regardless of what my wife says.

it'll be so much fun, good money, and a lot more extremely hot chicks than you can ever handle.

to be that big is another story tho-
when you first start it, your spending will be more than your earning, for portfolio shoot and money for travel to the location... etc.
also the chances are really small- majority of models end up becoming mere "promo- model" (something like giving out candies during concert or dance around in the mall...) like me...

sometimes i do get hired for fashion shows and magazine photo shoots, but, i know, i would never make it big.
Yeah I don't plan on making it big or anything... just wanted some extra change... wouldn't mind some nice photos of me... Thanks a lot
