Okay let's say it's purely a me problem.

There are other options at play.

Like yours, which you won't disclose?

You may think that's rare.

I worked door to door and still worked on my art. I had a much shittier job and still kept up with my art.

But no one gets into the particulars about a better option

Everyone keeps their shit super secret for some reason.

Because they don't want to dox themselves

That's so stupid.

Wut

Doxing is disclosing location and identity.

Do you know how easy it is to find people?

How is it impossible to get into the specifics of how a job works.

Just avoid proper nouns.

Jesus christ.

This isn't difficult.

Using some *cough* privileged information *uncough* I actually found jobs in your state listing for graphic artists.

They exist.

I don't actually believe you, but whatever you do say, don't say it in chat because I don't want these people knowing my state.

Good call. This is actually Axe Murderers Anonymous

Associates degree required.

I don't have one of those.

It's not actually required

Apply anyway

No.

Again, I've talked to people in charge of hiring. These are standard practices. You lose nothing by sending in an application

motto batte

graphic arts? you don't need a degree, you need a portfolio

It's listed as requirement. bachelor's degree is PREFERRED below.

Literally doesn't matter. Apply anyway if you're serious about this

and yes, apply to anything, even if you don't meet all requirements.

"Experienced in managing graphic designers and art directing."

half the time, the person posting a job doesn't really know much about the job

Sorry, stop saying they're all formalities.

Stop fucking saying that.

Grenade is correct

It's horseshit. I would NEVER GET THIS JOB.

I agree, there is literally no point in *not* applying, you don't lose anything.

STOP SAYING APPLY ANYWAY

THIS IS HOW PEOPLE END UP ON HR BLACKLISTS

most managers are inept with what hte job really requires
