  (Public Relations and Communications industry)

  January 1988 — 2002 (14 years )

  I have worked every job from sweeping floors to carpentry to mechanics. Did I mention teachers aid, street team promoter and bus boy? That too.
  
  I have a dad that has forced me to work before my age was in the double digits. At 9 he would wake me up early on Saturday mornings and take me to his mechanic shop to sweep greasy floors for $7 bucks a day.
  
  It was the basic lesson that most fathers taught their kids. The famous statement: "Do you want to dig ditches for the rest of your life?"
  
  I love him for that.
