To be honest, unless you're working for yourself, work will always suck. Try to find something meaningful you can contribute at the least. Or get a high paying job and live a baller life outside of work.

Also, even if you do work for yourself, have fun with all the stress.

I looked into japan and most if not all schools require n2 on jlpt. I’m an n3. Fuck. RIP japan dream.

N3 to N2 shouldn't be too difficult if you put the work in. Besides, you need to be on N2 level if you want to actually communicate with people there on  a somewhat fluent level.

That’s time away from portfolio work and Japanese requires dedication.

I think I’ve just decided to go all out and say fuck it and go for bachelors degree. From my research, my goal is the number one animation school in the country. Early deadline is December and I want to make it. I’ve researched their requirements and I think I can do it.

So I’m dividing up things into months on what to work on with my portfolio:

September - anatomy;
October - characters
November - personal work

Iconsidered quitting my job and moving in with the ‘rents to dedicate all my time to portfolio work but I need the job for materials.

The personal work thing works out great because I want to give paintings for Christmas. Is that a bad Christmas present?

MV, what do you do?

I work in the dairy industry as a corporate stooge planted in the middle of nowhere, to make sure the manufacturing location can function. It's a job I didn't want or apply for, but the HR manager and plant director asked me to do (I was previously a supervisor on the operations side). It's turned out all right, as I get paid a lot more and get to travel quite a bit. It's kind of soulless work but it fits my personality in a lot of ways and I really enjoy the challenge of it. Not to mention it's led to a lot of skill progression and great experience. Unfortunately, it sounds like I might have to move to corporate in the coming years, which I am almost 100% against.

How about you?

Well my friend has gone from being a barista, to working an office job, to working on luxury yachts  as a deck handa, to working sales, to nursing, back to sales.. and probably a few major changes I can't remember, at least 2-3 of those were "passions" and trying to avoid "office jobs."  Whether he was on a boat, or in a hospital, in a cubicle, travelling around doing sales calls, whatever he runs into the same damn issues.

But yeah if you aren't having trouble with the "i have to work with people and will have a boss" part I'm not describing you lol.. but while not an artist he's done the "pursue his passion to avoid a regular job" thing a few times and failed miserably.

He's just kind of a cunt.

This has been my dream since I was 10. So nope.

You can quit & work part-time too, you just need to be smart about your monthly expenses. The plan for right now, is once our house is paid off at the end of 2019, the wife and I will choose who quits their job to be a stay at home parent. Hell, if we decide not to go that route, we'll both just retire early.

Queen it's about the CONTACTS not the knowledge.

For me, I wanted a masters in Musicology because I was in love with the scholarship of it. There's no money it (ergo, why I'm not doing it now) but that's the only thing. If I wanted to perform I wouldn't have considered wasting time in a Masters other than the sole benefit of the contacts I'd make.

Even in business, smart people going for their MBA don't go to learn anything, they go to make contacts.

It’s about skill. I’m going to school to learn the relevant skill. What you’re telling me is like telling someone who wants to be a lawyer “it’s about the contacts” without them ever having stepped in law school. My bachelors was in a separate field. I’m leaving that field and I need training.

Dismiss at your own risk. Puppy's correct, again, on this topic. Creative is the one place that still supports placement if you've got the skills, regardless of education. If you need to learn how to do it, that's one thing. If you can do it but want a degree to prove it, that's a waste of time.

Ironically, the Japanese placement is more likely to be an impediment. If a company lists a requirement here, they're more likely to follow that guideline despite common sense showing that the candidate can actually communicate.

Babies actually don't have souls and only gain sentience by capturing the soul of a person who dies in close proximity.  Just saying if you die, you can just slap a card on yourself and then you wouldn't need to buy a lego set or whatever for it.

Oh. I never said anything about needing a degree for anything. I know it’s all about skill. I just didnt get why puppy was telling “its all about contacts” when I don’t have the skills to do it. Like I’m not dismissing him. I’m just confused why he brought it up as if it’s the only requirement.

Been reading about this guy

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/assessment/2000/09/dave_pelzer.html

Makes me wonder if I should write a trumped-up memoir under an alias. Both of my parents are dead so nobody could verify anything. I guess I’ll have to order this dude’s books, and that Erotic Innocence: The Culture of Child Molesting book mentioned in the article, to bone up on the subject manner. I’m gonna be rich, bitches.

This dude sounds metal in his books.

https://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/28/magazine/dysfunction-for-dollars.html?pagewanted=all

"What makes the book a riveting read for people with a taste for the subject are Pelzer's vivid descriptions of his abuse. The stabbing is dragged out over 13 pages. It begins: ''a sharp pain erupted from just above my stomach . . . a warm sensation flowing from my chest . . . where dark red blood pumped out . . . pain ripped through my ribs and blood seeped through my ragged T-shirt . . . pinched the slit. . . . I saw a yellowish-white substance begin to ooze from the red, angry gash. . . . I wiped away the pus . . . until blood seeped through.'"

So my boss is in town next week. Not usually a cause for concern for me. However, one of my buddies at corporate is telling me that the boss wants to starts talks to get me to move to Chicago (it would be a promotion) and work out of that office. I really do not want to live in Chicago but I also really want the promotion. Looking at the cost of living calculator CNN has, we'd need to make an additional $40k to have a 'similar lifestyle'. I think I can get $20k of that myself, maybe $30k. Trouble is there is no guarantee the wife can find something comparable in terms of pay. It also throws out wrench in our plans to have one of us be a stay at home parent when we decide to have a kid. It feels super weird considering throwing our lives into upheaval when we're both perfectly happy with our current situation.

Hrmm...need to know about the promotion and where you are now. Chicago is not a bad place to end up if you want to move your career forward.
But taking a loss in realistic compensation for it?
Don't get me wrong, I've taken two losses in compensation in my career, but they were well thought out and investments that I knew would pay off and I made sure they did. But I wouldn't take one just because.
