I have thought about what I will do for a career as my graduation date in arriving very quickly. My expected graduation date is March 26, 2011. Just over a half a year a way. I have learned a lot in my school and am grateful for the support given to me during this time.

I am worried about getting a real world type job because of my illness. Mom discovered or herd of a woman while visiting lisa about freelancing websites. Freelancing is where you are hire per job, but the trouble here is you have to find the jobs.

I found a website called Elance.com. I signed up for this site yesterday. Today I just made my first proposal for a job. A proposal basically is asking for a job with a client and suggesting a price that you will get paid once the job is done. I want to take this slow as I am still in school and it makes me quite nervous, but I proposed to do a job today for a client.

The client drew a pencil drawing and wants this pencil drawing done digitally in a vector program, illustrator. It's just line drawing and would take me no more than half a day, at the max. I thought this was a easy job and would give me a decide feedback rating through the site if the client thought I did a good job. The price I proposed for my work is $50 dollars. I went rather cheap because its my first job and I have no feedback on the site yet. It is also a rather easy task that the client wanted. Most designers could do the job in a hour if they worked fast, but I am slow at may take me a few hours.

I hope it all goes well and this can be my regular job. The only concern I have with doing this full time for my career is that the jobs are not guaranteed. Meaning it would add a lot of stress on my life in money aspects because I would always be worrying about paying my rent and bills if jobs did not come in time.

The ideal world I would have money set aside for my apt and food and bills and this job could just be extra, but that's not life I guess. Anyways I'll let you know if I get accepted and how the first job goes I wont here back for 3 days at worst.
