XD Thanks. If you don't mind my asking, though...Why didn't you decide to go for an art degree? Just decided to go for a BA in a money field? (I should've done that, really..)

no, actually I didn't go because my parents refused to let me. It was a "dead end" career that would just make me broke and in debt after college with no job (the school I wanted to go to and got accepted/a scholarship to was 40k a semester, too expensive). Theyre kinda right, its a really hard job market to get into. So I went with my second choice... I regret not going a little, because I'd learn so much more in school, but at least its a hobby I can do without professional training.
Personally, I say go into whatever you love doing. Choose happiness over money!

Ahh. Yeah, I understand how hard it is to go against the parental grain on matters like that. My mother tried to dissuade me and convince me to go into something medical, where there's at least a large job market. But, nothing else interested me. I won't go and say schooling helped a terrible lot, but it did give me valuable experience that I'd never trade off.
~grin~ And you should point out to your parents sometime that it's hard to get a job in ANY field right now.
This is off the topic, but have you seen the recent footage of the barrel-headed fish? It's terribly fascinating!

Yeahh. True true. I miss that im missing the experience, I guess.
it is! the criminal justice field is booming too, its just as competative as art is it feels like... and i dont know what im going to specialize in, which is making it even harder for me. baaaah.
yes, i did!! i was so excited to see it. I actually made it the last fish in the book (well, the last one I did.. they'll be in alphabetical order in the book), because it was just too interesting. and creepy.... and .... yeah. wow.

~wink~ You could always be a criminal sketch artist. I think it's just like any other career choice, art or otherwise. You've gotta find or make your own lucrative niche in the world these days. It seems a lot easier than having to fight for scraps from the big dogs.
I'd never even heard of it before, which made me realize just how behind on marine knowledge I am these days! Heck, I'm still reeling over the pink bottle-nose dolphin.

Hi! I interviewed you at UKON and thought I would stop by your gallery. Great stuff. You are so watched.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
~laughs~ Thank you. I thought I kind of recognized you on the other side of the Country Crock tub in your picture. Glad you told me who you were though, cause I'm terrible with names and that weekend was a blur.

hey your current residence is listed as a lex, isnt that a giant phalic spacecraft
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Uhm.. -_-; Unfortunately I suppose it is, because I didn't think of it that way as I don't watch horrible sci-fi tv shows. In my case, it's the first three letters of the city I live in.

lol I see, sorry i'm a bit of a geek. ^_^ lex... lex, do I get bonus points for guessing the rest of the city, lexington, lexus?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
~laughs~ Lexington, yes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ahh, subtley unspecific tho ^_^ 19 American cities and 5 US navy destroyers according to wiki
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^_~ That was the idea. Bonus points if you guess the state.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nah, that sounds like a trick question. I bet you're on one of the destroyers circling the globe, hence your description of THE lex rather than just lex
