Not every job I’ve worked has been in technology, but all my favorites have. I started doing video editing work when I was 14, though I didn’t start charging for it until I turned 20. When I was 17, I took a job working as a host at an Indian restaurant, which taught me both patience, and that I wasn’t particularly good at being a host at a restaurant. Simultaneous to the job as a host, I took a job working Helpdesk at a University. They never had much work, so I got bored, and moved to a helpdesk job at a robotics firm. 4 years later I’m head of social media, and one of the core Network Administrators for the company. Being paid to spend hours on Facebook and Twitter? Delightful.
