What's next?

Fuck knows.

I'm finished as a student and this brings up two things:
1. I'm glad I'm fucking done.

"Good."

2. If I'm not studying, and I don't want to do film work for free, what the hell do I do for money?

"Get a job, you hippie."

Yes, that's the logical conclusion. But why the hell have I just spent 4 and a half years studying when I can't work gainfully in the industries I studied for? It's not because I wanted to kill those years living away from the real world (entirely). I want to work in film or sound. I have the skills and knowledge to do so (despite my education).

"Well you're fucked, then."

Thanks for your vote of confidence. No, seriously. What do I do next?

"I'll give you ten bucks to suck my dick."

I'm not sure I'm that desperate yet. What I really hope is that either I get enough money on Centrelink to afford living in a sharehouse, and I can find a place that's not too far from the city, or one of the few potential job opportunities that seem to be vaguely in front of me pan out (although knowing my employment history it seems unlikely).

"So you're basically no further than you were at the start of this blog?"

Yes.

  1. But yay for the degree. If things go really bad, I hear paper is a good dietary substitute. Especially scholarly paper.
