In my younger years I worked with the beggining of the internet. Retrieving information was not the easiest task when the internet was an unpopular tool. Most people could not navigate somewhere, nonetheless had the patience to deal with these computers taking over peoples jobs. I believed the internet was going to get bigger, and better. Which it surely did, only I was off a little, I beleived the world would be recieving their groceries by internet orders, and that grocerie stores would be forced to compete with delivery companies. While this totally did not happen, like I said it was close.
Projects on the internet for an individual entreuprenure could earn from $10 products or projects, to $1000 projects, or higher. Much as analytics works today, it was even more important back when it was harder to find. Even the task of finding a specific web page was not the same as now, which many projects had taken coordination with this type of knowledge. As the hubbub and excitement of the massive collection of internet information grew bigger, many more people joined into understanding the PC and this way of life for me slowly was strangled out. Far too many tasks became an easy common knowledge, to easy to charge for.
This inflaming excitement led to my next direction. More people fueled the internet, so many more people needed their own space on the internet. Building webpages and marketing affiliation groups became my next career. The skills I developed during this time stuck with me throughout the rest of my journey. Eventually just as before, the world took what I was doing and made it more popular, so far as to turn $100 projects into being free, for some upstart and hungry web developer desperatly needs to fill in their portfolio.
As the amount of profits from this angle declined, I had to earn supplemental incomes. Most of these were minimum wage hourly paid jobs, lasting around a year or more. I had many interests and appreciate most of the worlds beauties in their own forms, so I wanted to try atleast a little bit of everthing. Landscaping to biologically engineering plants to creating their own chemical substances, I tried to get into the whole spectrum. I moved away from pocatello and joined a security monitoring sales team in St.Louis Missouri, where I got the first taste of a big city. Moving back to Pocatello I wanted something different again, so I did something different.
I had learned so much of the earth I then wished to spread the knowledge to where it was needed most. It could be religious, from any denomination, or it could be fixing someones work computer. Sometimes there were very sick people who needed constant and daily attention, and sometimes there were convicts and very gruff crowds, who only needed a light in the dark. These situations led me into the path of non-profit sectors I am in now. I had a life that could be put on hold to cover the loss or damage of anothers life, this makes me happy.
I decided to work with people who needed attention such as these convicts in prebuilt businesses and institutions. Quickly I learned to love the health I had and cherished the skills I own. I felt compelled even further to now join a group with the largest of intentions set on service, so I joined the National Guard. Using the internet and the Army I supplemented my wandering lifestyle of selfless service.
I jumped into school, and ended that when It grew too expensive to sustain. I had not known how many grants I had which would rollover to every year, some did not. I was in a Bachelors program for Game Art and Design, which designing games and art is a side hobby of mine already. I looked into staying near an education type system though, and went to work as a tech for the Idaho State University. These tasks ranged from being complex to as simple as making sure certain rooms were permanently dusted.
I had worked for I.S.U. long enough to spark my interest in my own abilities and struck out on my own using the internet and donating time and charity. I had seen enough of people who have completed schooling, being taught by someone who had no certificates in those fields. As time went by I recieved a messege from a friend who's job and business was at stake, the fire department was going to shut them down for safety issues with the alarm systems. This friend was the desk manager at the Super 8 Hotel, who has had been recieving a chain of internal issues from corporate down to the buildings floors.
We had to have a certain guard on watch checking for fires. There were not many employees, as things were getting harder financially for the building. I took up a position to constantly check for fires and allowed the business to cut back on spending overtime-hours. After the construction to the building was complete, I had been invited to work at the front desk. I spent the next almost two years learning how hotels and the non health-hospice side of businesses work. From accounting to audits I remembered my passion for numbers, and stayed in the hotel much longer than I had planned on. The hotel rose to the number 1 online booking hotel in idaho multiple times, always staying on the top 5, and we became known as the best Super 8 there was.
I have taken many steps in many many different directions of my choosing, I currently have many projects going on, between creating work for the workless, halting sex trafficking in foreign places like Bangkok, and an unlimited amount of inventions all waiting to be funded, or are partially funded. The largest portion of my friends are from around the world sadly, and not so much within a physical reach. This network I have is where my long term goals will reach into, and I am excited to start schooling again, as soon as possible.
The world brings itself in a new way everyday, I wish always to learn how to use it better.
There is a quote I love and will end this here with, "I will do what you won't today, so I may do what you can't tomorrow."
