A Very Clever Title

Sun Feb 8, 2009, 2:04 PM
Just a quick entry--I was tired of looking at that (almost) year old one from before, so this should bump it off.

Things are good. Not sure if I'm coming back to school next year, and if I am, not sure how full-time I'll be (probably not very?). Money continues to be tight, and I'm going on loans--I'm kind of not super eager to put myself any further in debt, and things at school haven't been as supah fun as I'd hoped this year. Tie in some friendship drama with me and this one person over this one thing, and... eh, I could do without? I kind of want to strike out on my own, focus on doing up sequential pages and trying to sell myself (the under 8k pageviews tells me it won't be easy though). Make very little money instead of spending very lots. How close am I to ready for the little leagues? I don't even know.

I haven't gotten around to asking some of my more comics/illustration specific teachers, ex-teachers and friends what they think about this course of action yet, so please chime in. The clock's a-tickin' and I'm not sure what I should do.

I'm a recent grad and I'm having a terrible time with finances right now. More places are firing than hiring and I'm on the verge of being evicted. It's so bad, I was thinking about going back to school.
I know we're not really in the same line of work, so you might have an easier time than I am. Not sure though.
Not trying to discourage you, just warning you to think long and hard about it, because it's tough out here. : \

I'm in the same situation. Do I really need another year of spending too much money? I feel at the same time it's only one more year, might as well just finish and be done with it. (And I'm not just saying that because we're roomies ;)

Also, if you were to leave early, the school is less likely to help you find employment and make industry contacts-which is probably why you came to school in the first place.

One more year, hang in there!
