Baffled

For the past week, since I have a week off from school due to the annual sports fest, I have been contemplating about my future. I mean, I will be done with school next year, so I have been thinking hard about where I will be after. I know that there are jobs out there, but right now, I feel really uneasy and doubtful about my skills. Are my skills enough for a company to hire me?

I know that it will be a tough market to get into, because there are far more talented designers out there. I can’t help but be scared that I will be jobless for a long time. My friend will be flying to Canada soon, and she told me that if I wanted to work there, she can help me out. But, I want a job that I will love. Something related to Multimedia Arts, so I am kind of reluctant. My parents and I talked about it yesterday, and they want all of us, their kids, to take care of our passports. Maybe I will try my luck elsewhere.

I do want to settle here in the Philippines, but I do want to earn money so I can save up to buy my own place. I am going to be 25 soon, and I need to have a stable income and be more independent. I am kind of thinking to go back to my old job, but I think it will be very stressful. I know I still have a long time to think about things, but I just want to be ready. I don’t want to be a bum.

Anyway, I’ve been working on a new theme, but nothing seems to satisfy me. I tried to use some color, but it looked cluttered. I don’t know where to get the inspiration from. I had this idea to use something minimal, but it looked empty. This current theme has been up since April this year, and it’s October already. I wonder when inspiration will come over me.

I think I will be able to afford a new monitor for my computer. I talked to my dad about it and probably by the end of October, I will have a flat panel monitor. Hopefully!

We all have those worries but I’m sure you’ll find a job and be able to move out soon enough.

And as much as you want to stay in the Philippines, keep your mind open to moving out of the country, too. You’ll figure it all out soon.

I think the future scares us all; it’s the unknown, therefore it’s scary. What we don’t know scares us. I’m sure you’ll settle down just fine, because there’s always a way out of anything.

And if you’re out of inspiration, go outside for a walk it’s what I do.

At one point or another, everyone has those worries. I’m pretty sure a company will see your unique talent for what it is, and hire you! These things take time, and all we can do as humans is be patient.

I really like this layout, Adreana… you really have some mad skills there! I hope that with them, you’ll be able to shine. Good luck with your future – I am sure that given how talented you are, people are bound to want to hire you.

I’ve worked for software/multimedia companies in the last 4 years… and here in Canada, the market is already saturated with many qualified skilled workers who can’t get a job using their multimedia arts skills.

i know how you feel about the skills thing. but you shouldn’t worry about a thing. i’ve seen your work and you’re great at it. i wish i could do the things you could but i can’t, not yet anyway. i’m sure you’ll be great at whatever you do.
