Describe what you like about data entry.

(Honest question. I’m asking because teaching and writing already seem coherent and I’m trying to understand the data entry piece.)

I like systematization. I like designing the database so that it can organize information better. I’m partially German, so it makes that part of me feels good when everything is *just so*.

I used to be a physics major in university but was one of the last cuts from my program. So I transferred into History and finished up my degree. One of the things I’ve been doing is harnassing databases to help me organize historical information. I’ve found myself doing a lot of work for election officials, and for political campaigns as a result, because of the intersect between my degree and my proficiency in data entry.

Right now I maintain donor databases. I have an unpublished thesis on genealogy, where I have an innovative design that is much more efficient than current products on the market and is much more scalable. I am working on refinements to make it more user-friendly. I have no idea how to market something like this to actually earn money.
