boner Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 find a government job.. decent pay, good benefits... you can be totally incompetent and there is little accountability. as for creativity, just bring a sketch pad for your down time... however, if you have a criminal record, don't bother.

leftover crack Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 alright now before you jump on me for even suggesting this, how about selling some type of graffiti like product. trucker hats sell really really quickly and are also i nice way of attracting pink pussy. airbrushing shirts and kicks especially now with nicer weather. yeah it's corny as hell but with a good plan it will pay the bills.

Schnitzel Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 it aint as creative as doing the ads but maybe try wroking as a media planner/buyer..it's not the most exciting but once you've got a year or two under your belt it'll become a lot more interesting.Online is booming for this stuff and eventually you can dictate the way the creative team work..

Flayed God X Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Why don't you try working Art department (designing/building sets, props. . .) in the film buisness, if you can work hard and like creating stuff then this could be good for you. Pay is alright depending on your skill level and so forth but you learn how to build lots of cool shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackfatsoe Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 When I worked at Macy's as a part of the "Visual Team" I worked for a couple people who used to be succesful set designers in LA, but they said the money dried up with the quickness. Maybe they just sucked at what they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post Meeeee Toooooooooooo........ Seriously government work is on an entirely different system than civilian work. It's not motivated and operated by profitability. Right now I'm collecting unemployment and doing art stuff, so unless something miraculous happens between now and when my ui runs out i'm going into government work.

Regardless of the set being real or virtual, it needs art direction, design, and construction. And I don't think you can make a CGI Macy's. Yet.

!@#$% Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 i haven't read the thread, so this is out the cut but medical illustration always sounded so cool to me unforuntately you do need a degree in it what about teaching? no money in that, but some friends of mine have enjoyed their jobs. i know some people who do set-up for productions: music tours, conventions, etc. they travel all over and do some creative shit and some people who are more about theatrical and set design they do more furnture building type shit, which can be lucrative after you get experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26SidedCube Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 You could start up a company where you have really wealthy business owners pay you to befriend unsuspecting caucasions from Vermont. It'd be like the hooker scene in that movie Rat Race, except they'd have you hang out with some corn-fed bumblefuck white dude in a really rural area and film it for the sake of playing it in the background at Board Meetings. Think of it as guerilla friendship... but totally sadistic and wrong on all levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
