I find that all of the bad jobs I have ever had in my life only reaffirm how much I love being an animator. I can not even imagine not doing this.

Wow! That's quite a list. It's encouraging to know that someone as talented as you are didn't get just get things handed to them. It increases my belief that hard work and perseverence can really pay off.
Wow Keith, You've done EVERYTHING. You certainly have lots of life experiences to base your animation on!
I can say that I have been down that road. Alot of different experiences in my lifetime. I am finally on my way to doing what I truly love - animation. I know this will be another long road of learning experiences, but I am looking forward to going to a job that actually lets me be creative and enjoy what I do.
Think it goes to show that there is no such thing as a pure specialist. I'm sure while some of those things may have been unpleasant, they helped give you a better insight into the biz, and how people think.
Postal worker, eh? This explains a lot, Keith.
Oh, and I'd like a corned beef on pumpernikel, with Swiss and brown mustard, with a Dr. Brown's cream soda...

Just letting you know that your site is really cool!
boy, how many lives you had??
That's a huge list, Keith! LOL
It's also very encouraging to those of us still "working towards" our desired careers :-)
Dont forget the current moonlighting as a TEACHER... (VTS)
