  1. @NightmareOnElmStreetfrom what I've heard, UX design can be an awesome career and is pretty easy to learn for someone who's actually artistically talented. But dude, the set design shit sounds like something you're genuinely interested in and would love to do...good luck with it. You have the rest of your life to do some techy shit, but if you'd love to paint for a living and be creative every day, see how it goes with set design...you never know what could happen. And don't beat yaself up either, we're all just bullshitting our way through life pretending we know what we're doing, throwing shit at the wall and trying things and seeing what sticks. You're smart and creatively talented, you'll figure it out man. And if the set design doesnt work out or wouldnt pay enough for you to be able to get rid of the debt, then you def should take on the UX stuff, tech is the way to go for money/job outlook these days. At the worst you could look at it as a necessary evil, and shit you might like it more than ya think. idk, good luck homie.
  2. Nobody here will know who I am, I was a shithead kid on here back in the day, but I have lots of love for this forum. I basically stayed in the paperchase/toy threads and quit painting graffiti by the time I was in my early 20s because fuck getting felonies for writing my name on stuff, still have a lot of love for the art and the culture and still have some nice handstyles and throws, yada yada. Channel Zero stole my childhood innocence lmao yall were fucking wyling in here. Yall have some really interesting stories and this is my first time signing in in years so why not contribute. Far as career, I've always been horrible at math or science which has been the bane of my personal and professional existence, but also cool I guess since art and writing counts too. Reading, writing, and language always came easily to me, especially creative writing. I guess I'm good with letters whether it's writing or drawing them, though never could draw well enough for pieces lol. Or was just too lazy to learn. I grew up loving music, playing instruments on and off, being the guy people would always want to rap at parties and shit cause I could freestyle (corny but what are ya gonna do). Made some shitty songs in high school with the homies, ripping beats off youtube and recording in audacity. Went to college for an English degree like an idiot, a lil strung out on pills half the time and in a fucked up relationship most of the time. Original plan was to be in academia since I grew up watching my dad in that world, found out that's basically impossible these days especially because fuck getting a PhD, it's a racket. I'm not trying to pay anymore tenured professor's mortgages, fuck them. Spent lots of high school and college off and on pills, opioids are/were my shit (which is why I can't do them). Never got too strung out but did do dope with worse off homies who ended up in rehabs and what not, got in a lil trouble when I was younger and went through some of the outpatient stuff myself. Somehow never completely ruined my life with drugs or died even though I got damn close/should have so many times between benzos, alcohol, and opiates throughout high school especially, and knew lots of people who did die. Midwest livin, the pharmaceutical flood, we were bored! What can ya do. Wrote lots and lots of creative stuff in a few genres between a few projects since high school, culminating in a poetry book that I'd love to get published, but the poetry/literary game is (unsurprisingly) circle jerk bullshit, you have to pay people to read your stuff and who knows if they actually do, and of course nobody's making a living off poetry books, you have to publish enough to get enough clout to get an actually professor job, which takes decades. Been floating between jobs the past ten years since high school whether that's working in kitchens, tutoring, IT apprentice stuff, catering, copywriting, academic research, then bullshit temp office jobs for the past few years trying to get a foot in the door in tech marketing while applying for anything that has to do with writing. The modern job market is a nightmare. Finally got a great break recently through someone I worked with at a company, and am hoping this marketing writing job finally works out so I can have a real career. Will probably find out in the next two weeks but the application process has been going really well and I'm killin it so far so wish me luck. At the insistence of friends and cause I always meant to actually try seriously, been getting back into writing bArS and making songs again, trying to learn music production and make some beats too, I suck but I have fun. Had a few relationships that haven't worked out but that's life. Even bought some canvases and markers/paint a few days ago, fully ready to embark on a quarter life crisis and sell shitty art on my rap instagram/try to actually get some writing published once I can afford to submit to contests lmao. I'm in my mid 20s so I still have time to figure shit out and I'm still having fun, feel like I've lived a few lifetimes by now. Just glad I woke up. Much love to @misteravenand so many other names this forum was legendary back in the day and it's so cool what you guys have created, and that you're bringing it back. It's important and it matters, to lots and lots of people. And I was really just a lil kid soaking it all in back in the day, yall corrupted me and for that I'm thankful LOL. I was a bombing science kid so coming to this shit was like opening a portal into the dark web lmao. Also can yall fucking believe Mero blew up!? I'm so proud of him man, loved his posts since his 12oz/victory light blog days. Thanks for giving me a place to learn how to be a degenerate, and to try in vain to learn philly handstyles from my stupid town in the Midwest. Much love.
