I am a pattern maker and product developer for apparel and accessories. I've been a full-time freelancer for 3.5 years, but am joining a bigger company doing the same services pretty soon.
by education - a pastor. i'm currently a sahw waiting on permission to work from the canadian government. should be able to work in july, hoping to secure a position in a church in the next couple weeks!
wouldn't recommend it to the average person. it's a really demanding, draining job for crappy pay. and, you know, depends on your faith.
