No real road in life. (5)

1 Name: That Guy : 2018-12-02 04:30 ID:wlawI/ga [Del]

It's been already 5 years i've got out of my family house, getting my own stuff together to live alone, i've been working this whole time without any diploma, and no real "work" experience. I was trying to enter into an art school but got refused, since a few month, I don't know what to do with my life. Where to go. I can't just go back from where I was, it would be stupid in my opinion. And without any diplomas I feel just like i'm not good enough for any job...

I guess, it depends on what you want to do. If you’re after a “proper” job then I can’t really say. If your main interest is art or something you would like to spend a lot of free time on that you don’t want to rely on for money yet, then there might be an option. If you have a decent amount of savings you can consider learning to trade on the stockmarket. I don’t mean gambling or investing, but there are methods that are consistent if the time and practice is put into it (which there are online courses and videos). It depends what you’re looking for though and how much leeway you have.

I don’t know how it works for art but is there a way to study some kind of equivalent so that you could get into the course you’re after?

Thanks for the answer.
Well I've been thinking about, and I think I mostly need to found a job where I can be good at to retrieve some of my motivation. And maybeI might retry that artschool later... I need to stay positive.

What type of art are you interested in?
Art is a nice field because you don't always need a degree depending on what you'd like to specialize in.

Freelance art via commission is all you really can do if you're not looking to interview with a company.
It probably would be best to retry with the school, but if there are any programs you can get involved with - like a community-based program (I know my city has plenty) - that can sometimes help getting your name out there to a client/field worker who can help get you some type of career.
Nowadays it's all about who you know rather than what you so you gotta get yourself out there!
