Which to me means, unemployed, but I will work if you ask me.  I moved to San diego a little over a year ago with my girlfriend, who will from here on out be referred to as "gf".  Anyhow, I received a bachelors degree in photography from a university in buffalo ny.  The great thing about going to a fine arts school, is that they dont feel compelled to teach you how to pay the bills.  Upon realizing that I could take pictures for bratty little high school kids, or make a career change, I enrolled in graphic design school.  After an 8 month program I graduated with a certificate and a pretty good portfolio.  Since then I have completed a 12 week internship for web design, and done on a hand full of interviews.  I have managed to remain unemployed ( if you could a part time job as "unemployed" as I do).  That said, this is my story/journey of moving to San Diego with gf, and starting a career in graphic design..... just in time for a new depression.  Tune in next time for some more feel good stories.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3515088108839117395-8962076397780434735?l=justanotherstarvingartist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://justanotherstarvingartist.blogspot.com/feeds/8962076397780434735/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://justanotherstarvingartist.blogspot.com/2009/01/first-of-many.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3515088108839117395/posts/default/8962076397780434735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3515088108839117395/posts/default/8962076397780434735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://justanotherstarvingartist.blogspot.com/2009/01/first-of-many.html' title='the first of many'/><author><name>ryain1000</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097302475682500480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
