Real life coming into play

March 05 2013
Just wanted to update my guildies about the status of my life. I'm currently job hunting and seeking school options if available. I've been unemployed for a while now and the program that I was a part of isn't helping me out much. I'm seeking work in the Graphic Design field and would like to go further in school if I'm unable to find work. I may be available less in-game and I just wanted to let everyone know why. I will still be logging in regularly so it shouldn't be of much concern. I just have more battles to fight than originally intended. I wanted to get my bachelors degree, but people have bills and I have racked up school bills already. I'm hoping to find some kind of design job.

Thanks Elquin. Hopefully, you'll find something soon! I know how stressful all of that can be.

At this point I'm just looking for a steady income. I'm a bit shy so I was hoping to get something in my field of graphic design working behind the scenes, but I've done customer service and can will myself to do any job. I was kind of hoping to finally get a job that I love instead of one out of pure necessity. Government programs giving me the run around and being no help at all so I'm going forward without them for the most part. I was really hoping to go back to school to get my Bachelors Degree, but I'm already burdened with school debt as it is.

I'm sorry things aren't great at the moment, Elquin. Real life always comes first and if you need to spend less time in game, we'll all miss you, but you've got to take care of what is truly important.

I hope you find something soon!

I'm having an extremely hard time finding a school that the program will approve... I honestly think they don't want me to get a further education. Does anyone in the graphic design industry think that getting adobe certifications in place of a Bachelors degree would be a viable option? I do have an Associates degree in graphic design.
