What I do for a living: I'm currently on disability due to seizures and knee problems (can't drive..can't work...it sucks). However, I consider myself to be a "starving artist" (which isn't really a "living") I sell sketches/drawings sometimes..I've had some poetry published and gotten paid a bit for that...and I'm currently working on a novel which I hope to also get published and maybe make some money off that.
Prior to disability, I was a paralegal for a law firm which specialized in mortgage foreclosures. I got to do the grunt work (filing all the paperwork...going to auctions to make sure the bank won the property back or got well paid for it by another bidder). I was hated tremendously and had several threats made against me because I was working in Pittsburgh and the law firm was based on Philadelphia. So, the only person people in Pitts associated with that firm was me...and they hated me for it...(on average, we foreclosed on about 400 properties PER MONTH in Pittsburgh alone...and they covered all of Pennsylvania and New Jersey too). I was constantly being questioned by news reporters trying to see if I'd give them any information...it was...interesting. I loved it and hated it at the same time. The pay was amazing.
