Got hired today as a graphic designer working for a fashion company, designing patterns and such that they will print onto silk scarves, dresses, shirts, etc. They like my art portfolio. I didn't even finish graphic design college, it seemed too competitive and not enough jobs type of thing in my area so I quit after getting my 1 year certificate, but that's all I needed to get hired. They usually prefer associates or bachelor's employees but the HR lady really liked my talents and artistic designs. I told her I've been an artist since I was a toddler and have experience with every medium of supplies and almost every style of art, so she said she'd give this a try.
I'm excited, usually they don't skip employees with major degrees and hire someone with only a certificate. So I might end up working for that company full time and going back to college part time to complete my fine arts degree just because I really want to learn all the college level tips and tricks. Plus, you gotta take keyboard and computer classes every year after you graduate as requirements, so that always helps me stay up to date with tech stuff. |

Thanks ladies! It's not a major designer or anything just a local company that has clients contact them wanting unique clothing designed for them, mostly online retailers and small fashion boutiques. |

Just popped into this thread today after doing my Thanksgiving Day dishes.
Congratulations, Tiger! Your talent surely must be impressive to be picked up so quickly!

YW.
I got rid of the dishwasher years ago. I do everything by hand.
We had a small close family. Nice to have my children home for the day.  |
