I wasn't, but damn. You seem to have had ... several professions.
Then I have but one thing to say: enjoy it. EDIT: And don't rush it, it's like the world's most addicting drug, and after you finish? You get withdrawal symptoms for life. And please, don't be the kind of person that goes "we want firefly back!". It's an immature thing to say.. It's been a decade, the actors have moved on. Joss has moved on. In fact, while to some saying this is sacrilege, the truth is the only reason why it's so great was because it was killed in it's most beautiful, most prime. Our image of it is perfect, because it was never soiled. It's crystalized in our mind as the perfect, incorruptible story. Let's keep pit that way. Joss has even said this himself multiple times. And stay away from the community until you're done. It's a great (well, fairly great. When you don't get new discussion material for a decade, there really isn't much to say. It's really just "hey! Check out this T-Shirt!" or "I got the Blu Ray today!". It's just showing off merchandise. Even the fan fiction has stopped being written) community but there are many many spoilers. Don't spoil it for yourself. Man, I put too much info in my parentheses.
Toy store in elementary. Book store in high school. Convenience store in college while learning to mix (Pinwheel was mixed at Fairhaven at WWU), nightclubs in college while learning biomechanical engineering, then audiovisual consultant/acoustician while learning screenwriting, location/post sound while writing a novel. Ain't that atypical, I just tell stories more than most.
