I remember when I was at Pensole run by D’wayne Edwards in Las Vegas, a classmate had just graduated and wasn’t finding any work. He told his story for a few days and D’wayne listened for a bit and then one day gave him a reality check… and the reality is that NO ONE is going to feel bad for you, it will never get you a job. It’s brutal, but it’s true. D’wayne has one of the roughest life stories I’ve heard, and he had two options.
- He could sit in his neighborhood complaining about why he couldn’t become a footwear designer because life wasn’t fair, or how others had it better than him because he couldn’t afford design school and had to work a day job at Mcdonalds.
- He could use every minute available channeling his energy towards being a footwear designer.
If you REALLY don’t want to be living at home, then take control of your own path, don’t allow yourself to be the victim.
On a side note there’s plenty of resources here to post your work and get feedback. Every bit of criticism is helpful one way or another.
