The Many Jobs of Me
This is chronicling the jobs that I acquired growing up and stories about them from my perspective. In each chapter there is a brief synopsis of what the job entailed and what was expected. The stories following the synopsis are just some stories of what happened while I was employed there, good, bad, and ugly. Some are funny and some are just plain “what the hell”.

Chapter 2
The first day of work for the company I had to scan in to the time clock which could not be done any sooner than 5 minutes prior to my scheduled time. Then there is finding a clear computer and setting up the station for business by putting the tape into the tape deck and booting up the computer. Once this part is done it is the briefing on what we are selling and the numbers that we need to hit that day. Then the “fun” begins.

Discovering My Love for Writing
You're probably wondering what this article means to you. This article is the start of something new for me and it wouldn't be right to start it off this way. If you're reading this, you're probably still thinking about... what's something you love to do, something you're passionate about. The thought process of something like this is often slow and it takes a while to grab a whole of it. We're always told "do what you love..." but, what about the people that do negative things on the daily and think that's something their passionate about? Would you still say that to them? "Do what you love..." Doing something we're passionate about is the very start of everything and how everything plays out in our lives.

Unpaid Internships
At the risk of looking like an "asshole, lazy millennial," I want to discuss unpaid internships and their benefits to our society or lack thereof. In the past, internships of any kind were the golden gate for experience in the workplace. The benefits of having an internship meant that one would have the necessary skills to help later in a job—usually with the same company! When unpaid internships were amazing was when people did not need quite as much to live comfortably. These internships usually lead immediately to a job with that company or at the very least gave enough experience that a job was found fairly quickly afterwards. The benefits from these have dwindled in my opinion, sure the experience is great, but at what price?
