[honey-d]

Current Job - Getting pizzas to the masses

Dream Job - Have my ska band do a world tour, make music that people trip out to, hmmm I dunno.... I would really be interested in getting into the cannabis industry after it gets taxed and legalized in cali, but the drug game is still just the drug game until then.

Honestly I try not to define myself by what I do to pay the bills. If I deliver pizza for the rest of my life but make music that people love then that's well enough for me.

Current : Student senior year Univ. Metals and Jewelry Design

unattainable dream: Architect/Landscape Designer

slightly less unattainable dream: coffeeshop/all ages music venue owner



I wouldn't mind being a slumlord - buy properties, fixing them up, and renting them out..
I love making places nice, and I especially like working in the garden..

All monies go to support my music habit though...
gardens and music ...and the car


I have super transient issues - I like to come and go and move around and see things constantly..
so the idea of a static job and signing on for mortgages etc. is a huge, frightening proposition..

I'm getting to this point where I have too much stuff - like tools for making jewelry...
(I say this yet - compared to others I have nothing)
But to do it properly you need it to be set up - and it's bugging me..
I feel like to do anything seriously - is an anchor.

I met this kid who owns a really sucessful cafe and gelato shop in the town I used to live in...
And he said that almost all of his profit goes to pay the bank for the loan..
So he has this madly sucessful shop and makes a nominal wage -
He won't see any of his profit for like 15 years - he's going to be sick of it by then..
If he's lucky enough to maintain it's popularity over that span of time..

I guess the benefit is - being in charge of your own..

Nah, it's an individual major. Well, at least in the states.

[bright maroon]

There are alot of double majors who do Industrial and Metals...
and alot of Industrial kids minor in Metals also..

I'm closer to a printmaking minor..here's my Lithography final from last quarter..

The way it works in the states...

You have general education requirements..you must complete all of them...This is the same for everyone..

English Composition
Math
Speech
Psychology
Philosophy
Aesthetics
Natrural Science
Your Histories(Art and Architecture Histories in this case since it is art school)
Applied Creative Thinking
Intro Computer Art Applications etc. etc.

Then you have Foundations..which are the same on the lower levels for everyone, and major specific at the higher levels
exp. Since my major is considered a "Design" major - I had to take the mechanical drawings - but a painting or sculpture major could take life drawings instead...or a graphics/photography major could take photoshop 1&2 or illustrator 1&2 - architecture/industrial /furniture design kids would do the CAD modelling stuff- rhino, hypershot

but you still have to take your majors requirements - and then you have some free electives - and that's where you can stack classes towards a minor or double major...This is generally where you declare a major and lock in..

2D Design
3D Design
Color Theory
Drawing 1,2
Life Drawing 3,4
Drawing for Design
CAD Classes
Intro to all Major courses
2 or 3 free electives

Then you have your major requirements...and major electives
Exp. In metals I must do the required - but have a certain number of free major electives so I can focus on say forging or stone setting or mechanisms or enamelling or casting or CAD or any combination of them...or all of them if I want to extend my stay and buy all of them.

In My case
Studio 1-5
History of Metals
Design and Inspiration for Metals
Senior Project
Professional Pratices
and I'm not sure exactly but like - 3 or 4 electives in my major..

but you have to do like 80 credit hours in your major courses to degree..60hrs in foundations and 40 or 60 in academics..and x amount in your minor if you want to declare a minor..

I have no idea how you guys do it in Europe...

i love my job!

[lloydnoise]

I work for a financial institution

I would like to do anything involving physics or sound

[bright maroon]

oh... and they are making graduating really difficult in a territorial way..

Who is in possession of the studio/field type shit ..

I am hating it right now - but only have like 3 or 4 classes left..
too much like work..people jockying for the top spot..


I'm totally down for the self-sustainable garden angle..


I missed a class today because I got on the wrong bus and feel guilty..
I do not need to feel this guilt right now..

pressure to succeed is so counter productive..

I mean listen...suc ceed

[Shae]

why don't you make your own thread you pirate

[bright maroon]

I apologize..

That's why I have no friends right now - I refuse to subject them to my rantings..

At least here you can just skim by...
