It's a tough job, but someone has to do it
I am a chef and am tired of it. I would like to move into different areas to see what is out there. I am kind of limited out in the real workforce in that I don't really have a voice and I am not able to take tests do to an accident that I was in as a kid. Any info that you, Paulus, might have, or any other of my fellow Freepers might have would be greatly appreciated.
God Bless and and have a nice day, to all of my fellow Freepers.
My wife's and my email is: timandpatty@mindspring.com

Tip to parents: if your kid's interested in graphic design or illustration (a growing field), don't waste money on a big name school or getting a degree. Thankfully, the ONLY thing pros care about is your work. At the entry level, the only two things the pros care about are your work and your knowledge of Photoshop, Quark and Illustrator in descending order. You can learn these at seminars but you're better off just buying the computer, the software and letting your kid figure it out for himself.
Some benefits of the trade: you can work full-time, part-time, full and part-time, or freelance. Like nursing, the flexible working arrangements can be ideal for mothers. Plus you can work at home. I have several clients that I have worked with for years that I have never met. We correspond by fax, e-mail and telephone.
