real world

So Moxie Interactive finally emailed me back and said they would set up an interview for me in May!

Let me tell you how stoked I am! This is the first step into the real world - though, temporarily while I'm out of school. Nonetheless, this is a BIG BIG name that I could potentially be working for. I'm hoping by getting my foot in the door that I could possibly work there after graduation.

I guess I shouldn't get ahead of myself. I do have a few more years in school.

You know, I became a little bit more determined to become a better photographer. Not that I wasn't trying my best, but I've been slowly researching ways to better myself and be prepared for all that's to come with the title of being a freelance photographer. Granted, anyone could call themselves a freelancer, but I want to be off the chain! (I really couldn't think of another phrase).

As much as the now-working-graduates claim how they wish to be back in school, I really think I'm ready for the real world. I know what I want to do and I plan on doing whatever I can to work and enjoy it. Too many people I work somewhere (medical, law, business, etc) for financial security (which is not always a bad thing), but they are miserable doing the job. Now, I know an art major is not at the top of this finance chart, but I think a balance is possible.

I may not love business, journalism, or advertising by itself, but partnering it up with art - graphics and photography will really help broaden your skills sets. Then maybe I'll be able to work in an office setting while doing the arts as well. Although, I know sometimes, it's easier said than done.

Maybe all of this is just wishful thinking.
