Reply #18: Might have to create your own opportunity...

[gmoney]

Can you put together your skills and talents and ingenuity to come up with some new thing that's all yours?

So many self-publishing options, podcasting, blogging, photo sites, etc. Where was drudge or wonkette or fark or even skinner before they stumbled onto their particular formula and made a living for themselves? In the case of Fark and Skinner, it's largely a matter of creating a framework and finding visitors to provide all the content, then hanging advertising or membership fees or whatever off of it and making some moneys.

The good news is that you have skills, and you have at least a few months to get things off the ground.

Somebody once said that nobody ever got rich working for someone else... while I'm no convinced that's entirely true, in the vast majority of jobs a recent college grad can land, that's probably the case. I know you may only wish to "get by" at this point, but you're never going to have more freedom than you do right now.

Hell, make a new home for freepers that's an actual properly designed and functioning website, and make idiotic right wing merch for them to buy, and you could shear those sheep for the next 8 years at least.
