"Something to fall back on" - in the past years, I have been spending the majority of my time falling back. Instead of trying to do what it is that is important to my mental and physical well being (making), I have been skirting around it with fallback jobs.
These have included work in:
- Gift shops
- Clothing store
- Accessory store
- Fabric store
- Restaurants
- Museums/Galleries
- Various offices (from seed packaging factory to one of the world's biggest consumer electronics giants)
- An embassy
- Advertising sales
- Language schools
- Community ed
- University
Each has opened up new worlds for me and exposed me to people and lifestyles I would not have known otherwise. Yet, I can't help wondering what my path would be had I believed in myself at an earlier age.
