When life hands you lemons, you make the best damn lemonade you can possibly make. In other words, everyone is blessed with something, no matter how bad things may seem.
Four years ago, I graduated from college with a degree in Marketing and a minor in Computer Science. I didn’t know I wanted to be a web designer until after I graduated. Although my knowledge in Marketing and Comp Sci comes in handy, those four years would have definitely helped. While working full-time as a Campaign Manager and also as a Tech Support I took night classes that pertain to web design (Flash, Dreamweaver, SQL Database, etc.). This was the only way for me to build my skill and my portfolio. This was a struggle knowing I was working at jobs that did not pertain to the career I wanted. I’m sure many can relate…
It wasn’t until recently that I was finally able to get a job as a Web Designer…well…Junior Web Designer. Although this is not exactly a step up income wise, I am now at least on the right career path. I will be broke for the next few months, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices in order to achieve your dream. I wrote this blog because I feel that this is a new chapter in my life, a new beginning. I want to document it so that when I finally get to where I want to be, I can look back into this chapter and see how it all started.
