how do you make ends meet?

I want to do a thing for a living, but everywhere I have applied, and I have applied many places, I have gotten no response whatsoever afterward. My mom says this is because I need more aggressive and after I apply for a job, I need to go to someone who has something to do with me getting that job and fucking tell them I applied for the job and that I want it.

When I interviewed for my current position my (now former) boss basically ended the interview saying "Well, I'd offer you the job but..." to which I replied, "If you offered the job, I'd accept it so..."

And I walked out with the job. Tongue

I think interviewing, especially, is a skill - the skill of getting people to like you enough in twenty minutes that they'd want to spend the next five years in your company for 9 hours a day.

That's pretty close to my financial policy: I'm a freakish saver. I'm buying a condo right now which will dwindle my back accounts to a mere $10k non-touchable emergency-only fund and I'm a little freaked that I won't be able to save enough monthly to build a nice little slush fund.

We'll see how it goes.


As for my job: aspiring architect (not yet licensed)

Dream job: Cat furniture designer

Jobs I think would be super fun: contractor, furniture designer/builder, upholsterer (if I had the necessary arm strength that would be such a fun job)
