@Mistress DizzyI freely admit that the job I currently hold was pure luck
My first job was as a store clerk at my uncle's Comic/Anime/Gaming store and i used the money I earned to pay for horse riding lessons and to buy my first horse then he had to close the store down and I was forced to work a series of jobs ranging from Waitress to store clerk in several different establishments.
Then one day while attending a Dressage event I met my current Boss and we began chatting an later friends
I was her friend for two years when my Boss asked me if I could help her teach Dressage at her ranch on weekends because she had committed herself to giving them but needed to focus on an appointment to office and couldn't. Then one thing lead to another and I was asked to do more and more till eventually I was the manager of the ranch; I didn't get it because of any special talent outside of a willingness to work.
As I said Pure Luck
