I make a pretty decent living; it allows me to live on my own, own my car and help my family. I'm stable. I'd like a real career one day, though. I've always been good at making money, though. I taught myself how to sew and was a pretty accomplished seamstress by about 16 years old- I still make money on the side by designing and sewing together custom stripper outfits-and I've done SO many different kinds of jobs, it's crazy.  I'm a firm believer that if you treat EVERY job like a "real" job, you'll be successful. I started from the bottom of my cooperate job...as a cashier/food maker. I treat dancing like a "real " job and because of that, I'm one of the top earning girls and I'm so drama hassle free, I get to bend some of the stupid rules. Oops, sorry for the rant...
