The more information you give me, the more I'll be able to help you find a good place to get started. Naturally, don't spill your life story - remember this is still the internet, and anyone could read this page. So, if you don't feel comfortable answering something, don't worry, just skip it.

• What subjects interested you in school? History, English, Math, Sports, etc.?

• If you currently hold a job, what do you do? If not, what would you like to do?

• Where do you live? (For privacy reasons, please don't be too specific. I'm just looking for country and/or state/province. If you happen to live in a large city, go ahead and include that if you want, but otherwise don't post your hometown.)

• Are you good at reviewing other people's work (such as for grammar, spelling, style, or for grading)?

• How patient are you?

• What are your feelings about vandalism?

• Are you comfortable using Wikimarkup yet, or do you still need some time getting it to work?
