I've been reticent with my projects, dealing with other things. But the precedent is that when I get shit done, I rise to the top.

I'm going to be famous.

What are you shooting for? Writing, acting?
A band. My books. I'm a naturally good actor and I can draw/paint/whatever, although I prefer inks, so I'll probably dabble in those once I've made it. Oh and poetry. I'll see what I can do for the perth poetry scene. Also aspirations in some super-ethical business projects once I've made it. The very height of my dream is a sort of Artistic Empire in my name. Twist Brand. I am the revolution.

But it's best to be humble and live in the here and now. I'll always keep it real and stay honest. I'm just some guy.

A Jack of all trades? Impressive.

You probably know, I'm trying to do music. Trying to fulfill that artistic side of me.
But I'll have a fallback if it doesn't work out: whatever I get my Bachelor's Degree in.

I get fulfillment when I get a song recorded, and it sounds great. Or I play in the band Thursday nights at my college group, and everything comes together perfectly. I'd like to live off of delving further and further into songwriting and playing music. It won't be easy, and I'll probably lose a lot of money at first.

But if it gives me meaning in life? It's worth it.
Yep, lol

That's why I'm looking for work.

Well I hope you find it :D
Cheers

I will be 23 in two months. I've spent eight months (almost nine) after graduating college being unemployed. I made a huge mistake choosing a shitty liberal arts major years ago and paying for it. I don't have enough money to get a master's degree. I've been applying to Gamestop and Kmart and now my standards have dropped so low that I would consider myself successful to work shit minimum wage jobs because there's nothing else I can do. I used to think I would be successful and have an important job just because I had any college degree. How wrong I was...

Don't give up hope mate, climb back up the ladder. You can do it
Nah, there's nothing I can do, trust me I have been searching for 9 months and submitted 70+ applications with thoughtfully written cover letters. The most I can hope for is to work in retail, eventually become an assistant manager, and then maybe a manager. All I can do with my degree is teach, which I can't even do now without going back to school for another 2 years and I don't want to do that.
did you get an english degree without a teaching certification or something? try getting a job at an insurance company like geico.. i hear they aren't too picky with hiring and they're good about giving you the hours you need with good pay

I've done a lot of research about working with insurance and read employee reviews, and I would have to say you are misinformed. The reason why they are not picky is because it is terrible and there isn't a high retention rate. First of all, they make you pay for the classes you need to take to get an insurance license. Secondly, it is all commission. You do not get paid unless you make a sale. Sometimes there might be a base salary when you are just starting out. Third, it is all cold-calling to find customers. Some places even have you fill out a book of everyone you know and have you try to make them switch over to their insurance. I am not a sales person by any means, and to mean it sounds like a terrible job where the employees are expendable.

"Ornate chandeliers suspended from a vaulted ceiling lit the spacious chamber; Jack tilted his gaze overhead and noticed how far away they were.  His thoughts wove around those bright lights, like a dance of ether masses spiraling in precious unison. Why must we try to clutch desperately for the mere threads of this world when we can clasp onto a tapestry of untold magnificence beyond this plane of existence?"
I'll either be massively successful or a tremendous failure

Feet first into fun!
I hope to be successful enough that if I want something (reasonable at least) I can buy it without having to worry. But don't really know how successful I will be. I'd be happy with doing something I like for a living and living in comfort.
