“I don’t like heights and it always seemed I was 100 feet off the ground”
It was a dark time indeed. Here I was a 22 year old with little prospects for the future, and I don’t know if you know this, but it’s not exactly easy to find a job as an artist. But I did find a job making fake trees for shopping malls. Yes, you did read that right. I actually grew to like it till I got laid off, and then I bounced from one dumb job to the next, mostly in the fast food industry. Yea, it’s a real “career choice”, I know. I was broke, behind on my child support and student loans (yea they actually wanted me to pay them back even though I couldn’t get a job in the field I went to school for, the irony was not lost on me I can tell you), 
and if not for the kindness of friends, I would not have been able to eat or even have a roof over my head at times. Yea, it was that bad. One day, one of those friends got me a job painting houses. It was good work, and I had a great time working with my closest friends all day, but I don’t like heights, and it always seemed I was 100 feet off the ground hanging on for dear life, painting some stupid window no one would ever see as if it were the Sistine Chapel. I had to do something else for a living, as I had pretty much hit rock bottom in my financial and personal life during that time. I needed a change.
