If you can't stand your job I think you need to quit. Or cut back. Can you work part-time? Is there no alternative kind of funding in Canada for starting your own business? <BR/>I'm just starting my business as a writer, artist and language consultant (proofreading, editing, translation etc.) - I HAVE TO do it. I have to. Can't work whatever hours they give me as a substitute teacher anymore and keep getting kicked out for being younger / newer - inspite of having the longest education. Argh! We need to do what we need to do and art is necessary!<BR/><BR/>♥ visit me at <A HREF="http://www.afiori.com" REL="nofollow">www.afiori.com</A> ♥Maria-Thérèse ~ www.afiori.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369532662519310447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764213817109278069.post-62067976154955249152008-11-20T10:24:00.000-05:002008-11-20T10:24:00.000-05:00I recognize myself soooo much in your post! Glad I...I recognize myself soooo much in your post! Glad I've found your blog! We have the same dream, and I think it's important to have people/friends believing in you. And that we can share our doubts. <BR/><BR/>I've always wanted to do art, but for a 'secure' future I chose graphic desisgn, while in fact I am a painter. Now I work 3 days a week in a graphic design studio, and teh rest of the time I work on my dream; becoming a fulltime artist. And one thing is very true; it's HARD work. But I believe, if you keep working, your dream will come true!! It's our destiny ;-)<BR/>Your paintings are fanatstic!!Sylvie Van Hullehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480873582276192776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764213817109278069.post-90499373557108314282008-11-16T13:41:00.000-05:002008-11-16T13:41:00.000-05:00I completely empathise here.If I had known back th...I completely empathise here.<BR/>If I had known back then how much I love photography now, I might have chosen it as a career path.<BR/>I chose Ceramics at the time which I feel is a huge part of me but somehow photography pulls at my heart strings more.<BR/>We become more confident knowing what we like as we get older, we don't feel the need to justify it.<BR/>I always wanted to conform, maybe I still do, but I know what I like.<BR/>I am a self taught photographer, hoping for a good result without great knowledge of the technicalities, and you know what? I love what I do, that's not something I could say before.<BR/><BR/>Keep going, your work is fantastic, being an artist is bloody hard, maybe that's what drives us.Cassia Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09282708636001844660noreply@blogger.com
