The contest was a nice diversion from this whole unemployment mess. I finally got a response to one of my many resumes out there, but once again, it's for a job that's a contract "as needed" basis. I need stability with a set minimum income. If I had known things had gotten this bad, I wouldn't have been so quick to tell my old place of employment that I wanted to leave. Granted, I don't see that company staying around for the long term, either, but at least I would've been employed while trying to figure out where to go next. *sigh*
It appears this is the future for graphic designers. These companies don't want to have full time employees that require benefits and taxes and such. I'm not working for $10/hour or less if I'm responsible for paying all of my own taxes out of it. I made more money as a pizza insider than that, never mind what I made as a driver. I'm so tired of it! I went to school and I've got skills—I deserve to be paid for the use of those skills. I've started looking into other fields, but I don't know what the hell I want to do.
