High School
- Part-time at my dad’s dental office for 4 years (full-time during the summers)
- Camp counselor one summer

College
- Camp counselor one summer

Post College Life
- English teacher at several different schools

Now I’m sick of being a teacher and working on many different ideas such as several import/export ideas, a gentleman’s club (the clean kind, haha), acting (it’s SO easy to get paid to act in China as a foreigner, because if a foreigner likes it, it MUST be good!), proofreading, corporate interviewing for those wishing to get visas for overseas employment, and anything else I can do to earn money where it’s NOT teaching!
