A lot has changed since then! I no longer work in HR supervision. Now, I’m a compliance officer and a teacher in government, focusing on integrity and ethics. After a few years away from legal practice, I’ve also returned to working as a lawyer.
Weird question, but were you Hugo Boss in DB-PT long, long ago?

Yeah, that was me! Hard to believe it’s been about 15 years since then. Didn’t expect anyone to remember!

Yo.

I am a Quality Assurance Engineer which is a fancy name for testing various softwares be it web pages, applications or cloud solutions.
A few years ago I also tested games on PC/Consoles/Mobile.

So my job is basically to ensure that the software is working as intended and is as bug-free as possible ;)

Update: As of end of last year I am in Quality Assurance again. Monitoring, testing and also training new employees. And a free-lancer biotech researcher. If anyone is interested in sharing cientific knowledge I am currently working with bees and open to peer review, vets and biochemists mostly but anyone with knowledge in the fields of biology could join me.

Chances are that I may not get my job until I'm in my 40s. I didn't do that great last year with my classes and I'm trying becoming a English professor. As I need a job that will help pay for the bills while I do something that I enjoy. I want to teach collage because it's way easier to teach adults than minors.

I was kinda bummed with the local economy, finding it hard to do jobs as Art Director for sensible money, so I switched back to just graphic design/UI, but it didn't made sense... took offer as an Art Lead with a team in Brand and advertisement during summer.
So going back to old habits I guess.

Trust me, I'm millenial and a designer.

Also you get more freedom which is I forgot to teach. Grade schools tell you on what to teach like borning overrated books like The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye.

Writing for games, movies, tv shows, etc is still a job that I want to achive. I also want to write and create my own comics, but I still suck as an artist even having 10+ years of going to art classes at community collages. I would get my stuff published by Image as you own everything that you make. Unlike Marvel or DC, where you don't own jack shit. They have a history of stabbing people in the back and ruining their artistic vision.

Since they own your IP, they can milk it into the ground. Which is why I hate what DC did with Watchmen with all of those pointless sequels, and spin off comics that we didn't need. And having dumbshit like Doomsday Clock which feels like fan fiction to me. But, I'm going too off topic now.

Take it for what you will, but I just wouldn't make commercial, traditional publisher art. Make art for yourself and if you let other people read it, you'll get people who connect with it if it's good or not.

Always focus on making yourself happy first when it comes to your art. Jobs and careers are not something to aspire to, they're compromises meant to trap you in a system. Get as far away from those things as possible and use them onlynto extract whatever financial and social benefits that you can.

I currently work at Universal Studios as an Attractions Attendant. I left my previous job a month ago as an assistant property manager for an apartment complex because of a very toxic corporate office. I'm also studying acting and currently creating my resume to submit to agencies.
