Unfortunately Alien, you have a very bad attitude about it, and until you realize the opportinities that are out there to make your own way in life without having to have something to start with, you probably won't change your position one little bit. I know a lot of people in this industry that started out with no money (and not just in the good old days, I know lots like this NOW) and have made huge successes of themselves primarily from hard work. You get out of anything what you put into it. If you sit around and wait for life to drop the opportunities in your lap, you will actually be sitting and watching life (and opportunity) pass you by.
You're a talented guy, Alien, but you choose not to be a big success. If you can't make it in this industry, you have no excuse and nobody to blame but yourself. I see people with half your talent and three times your motivation outdoing you every day, not neccessarily in their end product, but in their work ETHIC. If you would stop for long enough to treat it like a business instead of like everyone should be obliged to give you money because you're so fucking skilled, you might realize the difference. I know your pocketbook would. (A few lessons in tact, business etiquette and learning when to keep your big mouth shut wouldn't hurt either.)
I am nowhere near half the designer you are, but I am NEVER without work. Why do you think that is, Alien? And don't tell me it's because I'm a girl.. you know that on this end of the business, gender matters not much at all. Think about that a minute, and I really and truly hope that you understand the point I'm trying to make. I hope it's not too much to hope that you won't just go off on me in your normal usual trademarked AlienQ way and actually realize I'm being helpful here. If you want suggestions or ideas, I have a million, and I may even have some work to pass your way. You know where to reach me.
