To say I'm frustrated would be an understatement. WTF? When did this area get so devoid of the need for graphic designers? When did employers decide it was OK to pay $10–12/hr. for the ones they do need? Even the listings on Craigslist for people offering services is getting longer. That tells me there are more and more unemployed designers trying to pimp their services freelance. I wish I could move away from here—go someplace where the cost of living is lower and graphic designer jobs are plentiful. If we didn't have this stupid mobile home tying us down and Marcus hadn't just gotten a new job, I'd seriously consider leaving.
