Sounds like you’re on your way to a really fun career.

I work in law doing research in our corporate library and i’ll be finished with Paralegal school shortly and then i’ll do that.

I typically shop on overstock.com because I can get all the higher end stuff cheaper. Like a month ago I bought a pair of Chip and Pepper and a pair of J & Company jeans for under $40 each.

If also like Loehmann’s and the Rack at Neiman Marcus. These are both stores where they ship all the excess stuff they didn’t sale and sale it for cheaper.

I’m a bargain shopper. I’ve also bought things from WetSeal, Forever 21, Hot Topic (love their band tees) and Express or wherever really.

I ended up working until i was 25 weeks because i ended up getting contractions here and there..then as time went on they got worse, and i was on my feet all day (tanning salon) so i was ordered bed rest…if you feel as though you cant do it anymore, dont jepordize your babies health. It can lead to worse things. And nobody wants to end up in the hospital, cuz i’ll tell ya…it sucks. Now there is a chance i wont make it past 34 weeks. Take that into consideration.

If you have an opportunity to do what you love, then go for it. Life sucks enough. Might as well have a job that you like! Lol

Okay. You could always go into graphic design. Or the advertising field. You can make a good salary with those professions.

You could study art and become a dealer. Work for larger galleries or museums.

You can go into set design for movies, television and print work.

There are so many possibilities.

And you can STILL sell your work in a gallery and give the gallery owner a cut for housing your work. Selling art can be very profitable.

Don’t let anyone tell you, or make you feel like that path isn’t worth anything.

It usually takes at least 2 weeks to hear back from them. They are probably trying to get their ducks in order such as setting up for the employment. When I had my interview for the job I have currently it took about 2 weeks to hear back from them. I was like you, very enthusiastic about getting the position and it was a very stressful time as well due to the fact it would be an awesome job. If after two weeks you haven’t heard back form them then give them a call to see what is going on. Most companies will let you know by phone call, or mail that you did not get the job, but again if you feel the way you do about your interview and you sent them each a thank-you e-mail( good thought by the way ) I believe your made for the job.

On the other hand if you do not receive it, don’t despair there are lots of other careers out there for ya !

Good Luck

Is this job posting I found on craigslist legit?
NO and that can be said of 99% or more of the jobs listed on craigslist……….

But this one in particular is so obvious do you really need to ask?

Serge Martin answers:

My family has a history of Shoe design and production.

The apparel crafts have an apprentice system. You could easily get a job as a sample runner and have access and exposure to elements in the process, like pattern cutters and designers. It would also give you real experience in a way which would give you a distinct advantage after you go to university.

It would be no time at all before they use you for the skill you like – design/art

Good Luck!.

Gallery owner, Art Gallery Owner, Gallerist. They all mean the same. If its your own business you don’t need a degree, but most people start out working for another gallery to gain experience. In that case you will need to acquire substantial knowledge about art, A degree in Art history can be useful.
