# My Career So Far in Dates/Titles/Salaries
The following tables are a view on my software career in dates/titles/salaries I was employed (company names omitted). Let this be inspiration to whoever is afraid of trying, failing and being fired. Every single one of these jobs has taught me lessons I've used daily in my career.

- Pizza Delivery Driver - late high school early college
- Paper Grader - Fall quarter of 2012
I ended up walking out on the delivery job, that's a story for another day.
I ended up walking out on the delivery job, but that's a story for another day.
Most of what I learned from these jobs were the value of labor and when to just shut up and give people exactly what they are asking for. Even if it's what they might not want.

Even though I've been fired three times, I don't regret my career as it's been so far. I've been able to work on experimental technology integrating into phone systems. I've worked in a mixed PHP/Haskell/Erlang/Go/Perl production environment. I've literally rebuilt most of the tool that was catalytic to my career a few times over. It's been the ride of a lifetime.

Even though I was fired, each of these failures in this chain of jobs enabled me to succeed the way I have. I can't wait to see what's next out of it. I only wonder how I can be transformed even more. I really wonder what it's gonna be like with the company that hired me over the border.
