Is Your Child Interested in Working in Hollywood?
Have you ever heard of a Coogan Account? It's a requirement by the state of California for every child under 18 working in the entertainment industry. Prior to beginning work a special bank account must be established. The account can not be accessed by anyone except the actor when they become an adult.

Careers

I use the quotes because I have some of my writing published, but I have yet make an income from my writing.

Work From Home Jobs
Indeed is the most trustworthy website there is for work from home jobs. Legitimate work from home gigs exist sure, but not every website is legitimate. If you do not get a response from a website that promises work from home jobs, then that’s a scam. But if you get a response, the work from home job is real. Don’t buy it if companies send you a check pretending it is your money. Some prey on innocent people with this sort of scam as I was scammed like this last year. I believed the check was real, but the bank said it was fraudulent. I got my account back filing a police report on the culprit.

It Has Become Death, Destroyer of Work Satisfaction
Listen, I know what you're thinking. There's that ugly word. "Survival Job." It's dripping with the kind of self-serving arrogance that all millennials seem to bathe in. A person ought to be grateful for whatever work they can get, right? A person ought to be happy that they've got food on the table, a roof over their head, and if they're exceptionally lucky, money to save.

Dealing with Creative Failure
I hadn't really thought of it, maybe I just didn't want to, but I was really bad at my first official design job. I had almost no training aside from one actual design class and one marketing class. Having been taught on the job, I still sometimes fail a bit more than someone who went to university or who has been working for longer.

Why It's Okay to Leave a Job That Makes You Unhappy
I believe in job longevity. I also believe in employee rights. Therefore, no matter how long you are at your job for, if you are not treated right, and if you leave work and go home and cry more times than not, then it is time for you to look elsewhere. I did just that on April 29, 2018, after being there for five years. Now I know what you might be thinking: 'You've been there for five years, so why not just deal with it and stay?' I tried that for almost a year. I had hoped that things would get better. They didn't. They got worse. I was miserable. I would cry at least three times a week as I was getting into my car to leave to go home.

How I Started Writing
I can say that writing has been with me since I was a young girl—since the day I wrote my first short poem about family when I was about 10 years old. I was so private with my words, that I often would destroy pages. I turned to writing, to vent, and cope with things. As I grew older, I would start to write in diaries/journals. Writing became an escape, from many things that were going on in my life. I definitely didn't know then, that I was going through depression. It was very hard to talk about my feelings, but very easy to write about it.
