dc.description.abstract	The interview with Nelson Cabezas, a Chilean-American, is about his work history. His occupation as a tailor defines who he is. His pursuit to expand his tailoring education is what brought him to the United States. Even though he was unable to acquire an education in design he made due by working labor intensive jobs such as catering and delivery services. At the same time he was able to practice his craft as a tailor by working part time on the side until he was able to work for U.S. Navy as a tailor. An interesting aspect of this interview is the relationship of Nelson to the interviewer. He is my stepfather. This posed some challenges for the questions I had prepared beforehand because I wanted to explore topics Nelson has never covered with me before and I was unsure on how to respond to information that I already knew beforehand. Therefore, the abrupt transitions from topic to topic are not the result of my disinterest, but are the result of my desire to know information I never knew before.	en_US
