It's good to hear that you're getting a lot of continued momentum from your past job experiences (it's amazing how many people don't take advantage of such opportunities to work and learn as much as possible early on!). It sounds like you've got a well-rounded bank of knowledge, too, which is something that can't help but serve you well. I just checked out your blog: really beautiful work! @Elizabet: Thanks!

DURING UNIVERSITY I STUDIED ART, AND WORKED AT A BANK. I LEARNED HOW PERSONAL & BUSINESS FINANCES WORK, HOW INSTITUTIONS MAKE THEIR MONEY FROM INDIVIDUALS, AND HOW TO WORK WITHIN THE SYSTEM. OTHER JOBS IMPROVED MY WRITING SKILLS, AND UNDERSTANDING OF DIFFERENT MARKETS. ONCE I HIT THE TOP OF THE LEARNING CURVE AT ANY JOB - WITHIN A YEAR OR SO - I USUALLY LEFT TO PURSUE ANOTHER JOB WHERE THERE WAS SOMETHING TO LEARN. NOW, WORKING FOR MYSELF, THESE EXPERIENCES IN MY LATE/20S HAVE BEEN REALLY VALUABLE. [EXCUSE THE CAPS, I'M WRITING FROM A CHINESE KEYBOARD AND THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO TYPE IN ENGLISH]
