Lately I've been avoiding the fact that I have a college degree and have yet to find a related job for it. With photography jobs being mostly elsewhere, I'm literally stuck with whatever I can find here. I hate that. I hate constantly being unsettled, moving from one seasonal job to the next. It's embarrassing and degrading. Since college has ended, I haven't been keeping up with photography as much as I should be. I remember my last day of college, my professor's advice was to never lose what you have; dont lose that drive. She was almost begging it to me. I'm sure everyone has been told that with any field, but it's really stuck to me, and when it rings back in my head, I want to kick myself.
What I want to do with photography simply isn't here. Sure I can freelance here and there, but that is all Erie can offer to me. I'd like to be a photo editor. I love working on the computer, and I'd say I'm pretty damn good at editing/retouching. Maybe for a magazine or even a newspaper, or website. Owning the pictures would be even better. But right now it seems like a distant dream of mine, as I sit here stuffing my face with popcorn and playing Farmville. Yes,
Farmville.
All I can do is hope.
And get a freaking car.
