It wasn't the most profitable business, but I much preferred it to the slew of dead-end jobs that came before. Unlike being a greeter, janitor, or a fast-food manager, I actually enjoyed carpentry; just never thought I could make a livin' from it.
[[Back to the start->I2]]I was a baker.
My mom died when I was young, leaving my dad to work constantly to support me and my brother. I learned to cook out of necessity, at first.
First it was microwaving hot dogs.
(link: "Then...")[Then it was cooking eggs.
(link: "Eggs and flour...")[Eggs and flour turned into cakes.]
(link: "Soon...")[Soon, when I was old enough, I began working in a real kitchen, helping dad with the bills, and learning much more than I ever could from my mom's dusty cookbooks.
[[Back to the start->I2]] ]]
I was a graphic designer.
Alright, I'll be honest. Graphic design has never been, like, a "passion" for me. It pays the bills, sure, but it was [[music]<music|/[painting]<painting|]<choice| that kept me going.
{(click: ?music)[{

Back in the glory days of Waponagua High, my bud had the bright idea of starting a band, despite his musical repertoire being limited to an elementary school recorder and one song he called "Hot Buns." I don't think the band lasted longer than a week, but it got me started on keyboard.

I think it was, like, sophomore year that I took Art 1. Waponagua high required it; I wasn't about to sign up on my own. Turns out, art is actually pretty fuckin' dope.
