Yeah, you got that right...
lets see, I have been an English Teacher, a Computer Science Teacher, a fashion model (very short lived this one), a C++ programmer, a Java Programmer, sales representative and a rare-instrument exporter. Oh yeah, and a voice actor :).
This is certianly one of the reasons I am so happy to stay and work in China, because it has afforded me the opportunity to grow in many different ways, and to explore my capabilities in a way that would never happen back home.
There is a downside, however. That is that in almost all of these activities, I had to learn on my own. I have no mentor or trainer to learn from, and so even if I succeed, there is no way of knowing if these skills will be applicable to the world at large.
But in terms of advice, I'd say the most important thing is to not be afraid to try new things. Keep meeting new people and go after something that interests you, you will never know what will happen.
