An Ethical Delimma

[fairyfarmgirl]

Thanks everyone, for the replies. As I said, I have been searching some time for a new job, but with no college degree and a limited schedule there just aren't many openings, and the few that exist are in similar jobs that would put me in the same boat as I'm in now, only making less money. That was what happened the last time I tried to switch jobs. Still, I keep looking. I wish I could find a job in art...all I really want to do is make comic books for a living. If only that industry wasn't a total bust right now...

I'm so tired of my job being something I hate, that I slave away at to pay the bills. I know it sounds bad, but a lot of jobs I don't even want to look into because they sound ridiculously boring or stupid or something I'm just not interested in in the least. When I tell people I like to write they tell me I should write advertisements or articles, or when I say I can draw they say I should design product logos or something like that, and it just sounds awful. Aside from the fact that most of those types of jobs require degrees I don't have, all I want to do is write science fiction and make comic books, not write about and design stuff I don't even care about. I hate this looming responsibility to do something I hate all day because I'm obligated to help pay the bills, even though what I really want to do makes no money. I feel bad not applying to jobs I know I would despise, but every time I consider another boring, crap job, it makes me feel like I'm locked in a cage with no way out.

I really wish I hadn't of flunked out of college...for all you young kids out there, don't be like me. Stay in school. Graduate college. A high school degree just isn't enough any more.

Working as a sign maker is really good training as a trade and as an art and will assist you in your artistic endeavors.

Also, make your illustrations for the comic book that you feel so called to do so. Then, start booking tables at Anime, Comic, New Age etc conferences. It begins with you sending out the energy to create it into being.

I am currently doing this for a endeavor that I am involved in. Sometimes, it is all in the preparation.

OR

You could begin taking a course here and there at a local college or night school. Maya skills as well as Illustrator skills are often great ways to make money as a consultant. There is many ways in which you can use your skills and aptitudes.

All in All, It does begin with thinking outside the box though. Creating a new Paradigm that is working for you instead of trying to fit into an established paradigm. Sit quietly and ask your higher self to guide you to a location that has fullfilling employment where you are fairly compensated for the work that create, do, and make. Then, simply go where you are guided to go. Synchronisty is afoot when we send forth our energy and are willing to accept the creation the Universe delivers to us.

There are infinite choices and permutations and possibilties that you can choose. The choice is your to create, make and do... to relax into and work with. It is yours and yours alone to make based on that which you wish to do.

Bright Blessings--
