I started out as a barber, if you can believe it.  I cut all sorts of hair.  For a while, I was working for some of the hottest people in the country, chopping the locks of famous singers, dancers, politicians, and other celebrities.  I liked the job a lot, because I was able to talk with them and find out all about the secret lives of the elite of this world.  Unfortunately, about mid-April I was laid off because the manager found out that I was falling in love with one of the clients, which he deemed to be inappropriate.  I really thought it was all right, but has very strict standards for who can and can’t interact with whom.  A tyrant, we call him.  Regardless, after three months of unemployment, I joined a study abroad center and now make my living selling travel insurance information to young people about to set off around the world.  It’s a change, but I’ve grown to like it.
