It's not easy being unemployed, especially when your most prized document has the words "Bachelors" and "Art" on it. My resume is not very impressive either. Certainly, I've held down a job in the grocery industry for about six years, I've worked as an assistant in a computer art lab at college, and I've done plenty of extra-curricular activities; it seems that stagecraft isn't a valuable asset to an employer.
It seems that digital art-related jobs aren't hiring people without experience in the graphics arts field, and college education can't seem to replace experience. While this makes sense to me, to a point, I'm caught in a paradox of not being able to get experience because I don't have experience.
There's nothing for me to do than to keep trying. I've been applying everywhere that's within reasonable distance that might be able to use my abilities. I've also got a very good backup plan to start my own business.
