I've mostly been self employed. When I was 15 I worked as a cashier. It was torturous standing in one place all day.
Then in college I worked in a fancy hotel as a cocktail waitress. Great money. Then in a manic rage I quit my job one night.
I also worked in a friends restaurant. Not as much money but close to home and I was still in University.
Then the rest of my career either independent contractor (selling new homes) still I had problems with quitting when in episode. I make impulse decisions when I'm manic.
Then own businesses. A wallpaper installation company that did well.
Bought and sold fixer uppers before it was all the rage.
Did Real Estate Staging. ( added touches to homes for sale or rental apartments. Once my friend ( an apartment manager) had an apartment that she couldn't rent for months. I staged it for a favor. She had a gas man come that day. He saw it after I fixed it up. Recommended it to brother and she rented it next day. Her owner owns 5 big apartment complexes and wanted a contract with me.
Right now I'm working on busting out of this low energy mood. When I do I'm going to design a new combo tile and granite floor for new house under construction. Then finish the kitchen.
I've got 2 major renovation projects on hold in CA. I'm so far behind. But being ip is worse.
