There's a lot of small businesses that need office work done. You don't even have to change your major or take up a course of study to understand what you're doing in these jobs. These are businesses just like big name companies so there is nothing to feel low about. They make money as well. Only difference is that their clients are different. For example, I work part time for a small multi service company that has over a thousand clients, mainly small grocery and package stores. The big accounting firm probably has only a few big clients. It all evens out. Experience is experience regardless of where you're working. Good luck!
Definitely something to consider. Thanks! I'll continue with the pc repair shop for now until they either fire me, or I have some major confrontation or some disastrous situation. I think I'll go ahead and take those 2 classes as well in preparation to transfer to ISU someday.

Well i can honestly say that I have been blessed with good luck. I have had many great jobs with great wages. Right after High School I signed on with LA modeling... by 21 I left the modeling world (a young models career is short lived) I worked for in couple small managerial jobs until I was recommend For a corporate regional position for a big name cell phone company, I managed the entire west coast. Pretty fancy... I decided to go to college and had to leave the long hours of the corporate world and picked up a Store Manager Position At Forver21. Soon after that I became a personal stylist/consultant and later was given the opportunity to purse my dream of being a professional artist. I did that for 3yrs, had many successful show, met so many incredible people, and loved every minute of it. Currently I'm still having a couple successful art shows twice a year ( due to the economy, there's isn't a huge demand for art as there used to be) and I accepted a personal assistant position for a High Profile Socialite....

... so you see there are great jobs/careers/work out there, you just need to make it happen. Find something you're good at & love and make a living out of it!
