Took a coarse of study in History because at the time Berkeley didn't offer a
liberal arts degree, it was either History or English lit. I was and still am
interested in history so that's what I chose.
 	
Updates	 	
After being out of the job market for 8 years I feel like I am starting all over
again. The main difference this time is I have past experience in clerical and
office work. Additionally I have maintained my skills in Word and Excel, plus I
have dabbled in web design and all that entails (I craft pages by hand, I don't
use web builder software. I use either Wordpad or Netscape Composer)

I have the patience to learn new skills and I also am a quick study. Once
something is explained, I can run with it. The sticking point out of this whole
thing might be my desire to work from home. At the moment I have no income to
care for my loved one so I have to stay close to home.	

I am not well practiced on my data entry skills but the last test I took online
had me at 20th percentile, but I am sure the speed will come, the accuracy is 98%.
