Jobs:
- Bagboy/cashier
- Technician and software/hardware engineer, from intern up to professional level. Was my job throughout undergrad, starting my second semester of freshman year.
- Researcher, from 'intern' up to professional level. This is my primary occupation, and it will be for the foreseeable future. The job itself encompasses a bunch of varied stuff; and it could have about a billion sub-bullets underneath.

That sure isn't a lot of jobs, but I've very much liked the second one on down. Part of it is luck; part of it is scouring for opportunities early on and holding onto them until their faces turned red and their eyes popped out of their sockets.


Other stuff that I'm doing on the side:
- Small business co-founder man. Pretty much 'researcher,' but more focused and with a different.. ... employer. Fairly stagnant at the moment while I concentrate on other things.
- Rentin' out properties.

Excited and nervous.

I have to fork over a not insubstantial chunk of change (almost $1000) to pay for the licensing exams (series 7, 66, and the Florida insurance and loans) when I go in tomorrow.

Luckily I have enough backlogged business as a realtor that I can afford to focus on studying for those while I wrap up my business as a realtor.

And I just want everything to go well. I expect it to, but I have a bad habit of worrying more than I should about some stuff.

EDIT - and CONGRATS!!! by the way.

I've had several jobs but the worst was being a medical secretary because I worked with my father and it was a boring job.
