Can you guess what it is?
Well I did something I did not think I would do again. I took an actual job. Well maybe not a 9-5 or anything crazy like that but it will require me to have a clean cut and dressed up appearance from time to time. Basically just keep my hair one color and a normal style of cut (ie: no mohawk) and get a few pairs of dockers and a few dress shirts. You know play the part, I can do that well I did it for just about 10 years at my last job. Speaking of that job, its been almost a full year since I have been on my own. March 18th, 2006 was my last day.
I am still acting as an independent contractor but I will be in a professional setting. So I guess it works out real good for me, I do not have to go into an office and do not have any one to answer to other than myself. I will still set my own hours and use my current home office and meet at clients home’s or local meeting spots.
So the job? What could it be? Well…
I had gotten my Mortgage Broker License a while back when a company that I was going to work for offered to pay for my class, shortly after getting my license they went out of business due to the owners not getting along. With that I just put my license on a back burner and did not really think to much about it. I had a good paying job at the time and really did not want the extra work. However I have always wanted to work in the mortgage industry.
I recently came into contact with a Mortgage Company and am going to actually use my license again. So I am sort of a professional again. Of course the current home & internet work that I do is not going to stop. Not yet at least. I can at least say and very proudly I may add, “That I am a Mortgage Broker”.
I am still going to refresh my knowledge by reviewing my course book and also taking an updated course. I have pretty good knowledge of what is going on in the industry because my wife currently works in the same field doing closings & processing.
Bet you would not have guessed.

Congrats, I myself just scored a new job installing cable and Internet in people’s homes. The pay is good and I think I can really get into it. As I climb the corporate ladder, I can get into a great IT position, something that I know I would excel in. Anyway, good luck with that…yep, you gotta cover all those tats huh?
Congrats on the additional source of income. I can only imagine working for yourself can be daunting, but this sounds like it will work out well.
I play poker with a couple that does the same thing, and they seem to be quite well off.
Good luck
