लेखक के बारे में
Author Leonard Fox has worked several career positions throughout his life. He was once employed in the food industry as a cook and then a sauté chef. Mr. Fox worked construction on a utility crew laying pipe, and also as a heavy equipment operator on an excavation crew, running backhoes and bulldozers. Leonard also worked as a rough carpenter framing houses. He eventually found work at a factory, working for Tyson Foods in their maintenance department maintaining batteries and the function of forklifts at one of their largest warehouses in the country.The work experience of Mr. Fox is wide and yet limited to what he could see in front of him. How could he go to school for a chemical technician if he never knew it existed? When the author found himself in need of money and tired of doing the same thing, he asked himself, ‘What else can I do without having a four-year degree?’. Leonard tried to make a list of fifty careers and when he couldn’t, he wondered how many other people couldn’t name fifty careers? Feeling like there had to be more out there, Leonard started looking. After hours and hours and weeks of research, he discovered there was more than he could have ever imagined. From the hundreds of options, Leonard Fox selected 50 unique in-demand careers shedding light on the little known.
