The Price You Pay...

I am two months in to paying back my loans, one of the biggest financial undertakings i have ever had. Now some people might say that college is a financial undertaking but that wasn't the mind set then, and most of the college populous would agree that at the time they did not focus on what they owed now. The smart thing probably would have been to pay some back as i went, but i just didn't have it in me to work full time while in college.  I now pay around 1/3 my paycheck to loans, and another 3rd to bills. Once i got out of college, i assumed that i was done eating Raman and Macaroni, but sadly i am not even half way done. 

Granted i can live like this, i have been up till now, and i will continue to. Its just difficult to know how much money i owe, and that i am going to be here for almost ten years.

Paradigm Shift

Everyone wants to step out of college and walk in to thier new life but truth be told that rarely happens and consistently ex-college students find themselves in a limbo of sorts. I am currently six months out of college and am in the process of adapting to the working world. The degree that i received in college was in Art. I studied predominately Sculpture, but i spent many classes studying Art history, Animation, Classical Drawing, Ceramics, and Digital Arts. Sculpture is a very broad category, matter of fact i focused even more than that, i specialized in Special Effects. Since i live in the middle of country there are no entry level positions for special effects here, to me this means that if i am going to have a chance i have to risk it all. As the saying goes "high risk yields high reward". This is my story.
