Still, besides pay raises people don't really think of

To Start A Restaurant - I knew that it would be a lot of work to start a restaurant, but I didn't realize quite how much work. You see, starting a restaurant had been one of my lifelong dreams.

Focus Groups - I like to try new products, so naturally when I was asked to participate in a focus group, I was excited.

Audition Casting Calls - Although I decided I wanted to be an actor when I was quite young, It to me a long time to get up the courage to actually try out.

At acting schools and

Interior Design Courses - When I first started taking interior design courses, I had no idea that I was going to make a career out of it.

Instead, I end up shopping at big box discount stores where I'm limited to a selection more suited

Graphic Design Software - Back in the day, anyone who could freehand sketch and come up with original ideas was pretty much guaranteed a graphic design job if they wanted it.
