Is about to go into Year 11? I'm a little nervous, but really looking forward to it! Are you?

Ohh... I feel really bad for you. If I actually had money, I'd totally send you some

A person who is skilled should be rewarded as such. Have you considered going to schools and speaking about trying hard and all that?

Or, I mean, being in the newspaper must at least give you enough credit to find a good job, right?

 

I don't think so /: all the industries round me want someone with experience, and when I did my work experience in school I worked at the Institute of Visual and Vascular science.

Not many retail shops want that, so i'm still unemployed even though i've been looking for work for 3 years. And I don't see how i'll gain this experience if I'm never given a chance...

Based on my income, I should be entitled to a grant for university, but i'd still need to get a heap of loans for dorms and daily living, 'cause the only university with course I wanna do (Computer Science/Computer Games Development) in my country is 3 hours away from where I live ):

My tip? Try to find work online.

If you're good with art, there are a lot of people out there looking to make commissions. If you do programming, there's a lot of that out there too. You just need to find the right pressure point to apply your skills

I don't have the skills yet (still learning in college) to do anything good in programming, bar making websites and databases sort of things. I have a deviantART (http://caitytrina.deviantart.com/) but I don't think i'm good enough yet where people would buy my art I've tried looking online and got nothing, i'll just have to wait til I can grasp hopelessly to some sort of opportunity

People are looking to make websites all the time! Give that a try.

Also, I have a friend who is, no offence to her, much worse at art than you, who sells her commissions for upwards of 20 bucks. So I think you can do it. Just work on getting your name out there, advertise whenever and however you can.

Hmm, I could try, but I think i'd need to start a youtube channel to better promote my art, but I have no camera that records films

Sigh, i'm sitting hoping that the off license near me has an opening for staff (I have no change of working in GAME for a part time job like I wanted ): Because they just need you to be 18+ (and my birthday was recently, was mugged on it too...) and their previous openings I couldn't apply cause I was 17...So waiting in hope

I might invest some of my ema (after I save up for a laptop for uni) in polymer clay and make charms to sell on etsy...but that's quite a while away
