What It's Like To Be
From postal worker to film producer, what is it like to do what you do?
The Life of a Princess
Many girls dream of being a princess sometime in their life, but I get to live that dream. While I don’t work for Disney, I work for Enchanted Entertainment, a company in Gilbert, Arizona.

Artists and Craftspeople love Beauty. Beauty may manifest as colorful, dramatic, whimsical, provocative, clever, or even just damned adorable. Very few of us set out to make Ugly. Consequently, our Facebook posts and Tweets, Pinterest pins and Instagram accounts show only the brightest, shiniest facets of our creative lives, and end up tending to look like the carefully-collaged “dream-boards” of fifteen year-old girls; all of the glitter none of the grit.

Almost two decades ago I started working in the youth development field as a counselor during the summer. I worked with school aged youth in Caton Park. I never knew it would become a career I was passionate about. Growing up in a house full of kids and being the older one, I had to assume responsibility over my younger family members. Because of my upbringing, being in this field felt right. As I progressed I began to love it more and more. However, the more passionate I became the more obstacles I faced. It became painfully obvious, after a few years of working in this field, that it was business as usual. Numbers to show funders were more important than the efficiency of the work being done. The politics of business had invaded a field founded on empathy and advocacy.

Hello and happy day! This is a past-post, something I wrote when I, "worked for the man"… that’s what I call trading my time for someone else’s vision. I have "worked for the man" at times when it seemed I couldn’t do anything else. The wolf who knocks at the door is relentless. When the debt to income ratio was off-balance and I felt hopeless about my Creating Happy vision, I would commit myself to finding a great job with the lessons I needed, while being of service. This is my account of the last time and hopefully, the last time I will "work for the man!"

The issue we talked about in part 1 of the I Podcast Too production explanation was "why make a movie about podcast?" In this we'll talk about "who makes podcasts."

As a freelancer, I value the ability to exercise creativity in whatever I want. The life of a freelancer, whatever your title may be, is anything short of glamourous, and can often become discouraging. Finding your niche is what becomes key. Setting yourself apart from the others can be crucial. Well I have found my niche, but it does not have a name.

One would think that the easiest place to live out loud is within the confines of our own walls; the walls that we call home. But for most, behind closed doors is where we are actually “playing it the safest.”
The CNA Life
A certified nursing assistant or CNA as they're known. They are the eyes and ears of the medical field. They are also a culture within itself where you're not treated right, nor are you respected. Also many don't really see that the majority of CNAs are in fact African-American, Filipino, and Hispanic. Which shows that few whites work this kind of job, and if they do they're older. Nowadays it's not unusual to see a lot of young girls between 20-40 working this type of job.

Kimberly ClarkPublished 5 years ago in JournalWorking in the Funeral Trade
When I was fifteen I was offered my first job. It wasn't necessarily a job I had been seeking or studying towards, but it was an opportunity to earn some extra cash, and help me get off my arse each morning after I finished school. Exactly what every teenage kid needs when they're offered six weeks of immortality; a reason to wake up each morning.
The Funeral Trade - Q & A
I've seen tonnes of horror films. Would I be suited for a job as an undertaker? You'd be surprised at just how many CV's are laughed at because of this. And whilst you may think being a horror fanatic is a good thing when searching for a job in the funeral trade, it really does NOT assist you in the selection process. Trust me. Having a keen interest in the horror genre literally has NOTHING to do with the funeral trade, so keep that off your credentials.
