Times are tough. Though it's nearly impossible to deny that there is a recession going on, it is not impossible to find a job. Believe it or not, there are some people that actually find jobs that they like. I don't want to be among those that dread the days that they have to work. I think it's a cop out when someone says that most people don't like their job. There is a lot of fear behind that true statement. If someone says that to you, just ask them what they always wanted to do before settling with their current position. They may tell you something so amazing. If they tell you what they always wanted to be, I think the best thing to say is, "It's never too late." It's also never too early.

Some people are happy working a job they hate because it pays the bills, has benefits, and they may even have enough money to plan a vacation. That lifestyle doesn't suit me because I want to look forward to everyday. I'd love to plan a vacation soon but I'd rather wait until I've got a decent job. To each his own.

When I hear someone talk about how satisfying their job is, I get inspired even if their job isn't related to what I'm looking for. I don't discount the importance of being surrounded by other people trying to get a job or already working in the Film and TV industry. It is of equal importance for me to receive input on my work as it is for me to give others input on what their working on. We build each other up. Several teachers have told us that if we get hired somewhere, we may not be able to be as artistic as we'd like to be. That doesn't discourage me one bit because I'd be happy to be utilizing my skills as an editor. As long as I'm working in this industry, I know that I'll learning something new each day. Being aware that nothing stays the same in this business is enough to get me motivated.
