Becoming a Writer
In this post, I will tell you a little about me and what I am doing in order to become a writer. As this is the first time I have fully acknowledged my desired career path and therefore don't know whether it will work, I'd ask that you don't take what I am about to write as advice, just a note of my development. Everything I have to say in this post is simply my feeling, no judgement on any person who cannot do what I am doing or thinks I am crazy for doing it (I also think that at times).

The Time a Mouse Signed My Paychecks
Introduction: A Peak Underneath the Magic Since its inception in 1981, the Disney College Program has provided millions of dreamers with the opportunity to work for one of the biggest companies in the world. The Walt Disney Company allows all college students above the age of 18 the opportunity to work in either Disney World in Orlando, Florida or Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Those who pass the rigorous interview process and are accepted into the program can work for the company for up to a year. During this time, the program provides networking opportunities as stepping stones for participants to work for the media conglomerate in the future.

Signs Your Company Couldn't Care Less About You
If there's one thing that tends to hurt most workers in America, it's the way companies tend to treat their top talent. While you can be the most thorough, hard-working person on the planet, that doesn't always mean you'll be treated well by the company that hires you.

A Day in the Life of a Social Worker
We all have an idea of what a social worker is. My favorite is the phrase I hear most often, "Oh, you mean Child Protective Services." Sometimes to save breath, I just nod and agree with them. But I realize I need to stop agreeing and educate my fellow human.

The T-Shirt Business
I’ve been copywriting like there is no tomorrow. I’m trying to make myself extra money since I need to pay-up the taxes, although I might wind up paying it a touch late, if I can manage. I applied to a bunch of work from home jobs. I’m also busy writing my stories to make sure that I can publish something so as to make extra money. I hear you can make decent money writing online, so I’m going to try it. If I make extra money this month, I will buy myself a new t-shirt. The question is, should it be: “Bill W. Sent Me” or others such as “I have Schizophrenia,” or maybe “I take Medication.”

Disability Rights: I Need a Job
I’m very paranoid and insecure about working lately. This is purely a schizophrenia thing though, as paranoid tendencies are one of its symptoms. As in, nobody’s going to hire a type one diabetic who needs to infuse, whose risk of the infusion set going down can happen at any time when I leave the house. I take meds—another reason not to hire me, right? I’m feeling a touch down about this job business as the nutrition store hasn’t called me back in quite a while, as my resume was given to the hiring manager, and all jobs expect medication consistency besides.
