charlie8575 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Let's see... Right now I substitute-teach- needed to do something to make some money; this is my main source of income right now. I'm also a trained paralegal, a licensed real estate salesman and do other pick-up work. Long-term, I'm planning on moving into teaching college after I finish up the bulk of my grad work- start adjuncting and work my way in from there. As some of you also know, I plan to start to my own model company; I'm hoping I can start that moving really forward in 2013. The plans are on paper, I'm just looking for some support businesses and some capital to do it. Charlie Larkin
