Job Hunting SUCKS!!!

I majored in photography.

I work in web design / graphic design cuz it pays my bills and its fun to do. I'm pretty computer saavy, been working with them since 2nd grade.

Ultimately, I want to be able to finance doing photography for my own gratification.

but employers dont pay SHIT.

I'm making half of what I should be making at my current job and its driving me nuts.

They're charging a few grand for each of these sites and I'm the one doing all the damn work. I only see a small fraction of that! sad

Does anyone know any good places that are hiring multimedia/web designers?

Been home a few days now, the weather in England sucks, I miss my girl and I have no job and no money.

I don't have a degree and my future is teaching little Thai kids to speak English.


Still, got the live box set to look forward to! woot!

Check out www.creativemoonlighter.com you could probably do freelance Web/photography work and take all the profits for yourself! My boyfriend and I are getting projects from them.
Also, have you thought about working as a photographer for a newspaper?
