Plans for the future? Find something that pays me for my very unique ability to research things with incredible speed and accuracy, but not bound to repetition :/

Any comments?

First I'd like to say thank you to everyone that so freely shares their stories. It gives me great comfort to see that my "quirks" are quite normal in this community!

I look forward to getting to know others as I get to know myself a little better now.

That's really cool you have a professional job. To what extent did you leverage networking to secure your financial analyst position? Do you work for a private firm or for a government agency / university / etc.?

I used careerbuilder, actually... Networking helped me find OTHER people jobs :roll:

This is a private firm with a staff of about 50 throughout all the offices in the country. I was hired for my analytical prowess and Excel expertise.
