2 points by johnnyjustice 2893 days ago
Hey everyone, I have a lot of respect for the users on here but I'll just cut to the chase. Here's the gist of my story. Let me know what kinds of positions you think I should apply to. -past five years I have been acting/performing/auditioning -during this time I have been substitute teaching for public schools during the school year full time -I have a B.S. in Computer Engineering from Villanova -heres my linkedin if you want a better picture of my background: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-justin-1a2b595a/

I have decided this summer to make a career switch to something much more stable. Acting for five years has led to an tough financial situation. I am looking for opportunities/positions that might be a good idea for me to apply to now. I was hoping to get some suggestions of things that might be a good fit for someone whose soft skills feel well developed but have an interest in working within IT.
