A Post-Graduate on a Journey to a Location Unknown
Having graduated last summer as a Digital Arts student, I felt relieved but nervous in regards to what I should do next. I was someone who was interested in graphic design, film and writing, so I wasn’t exactly sure of where to start. However, I knew that working in television was something that I was passionate about and something that I wanted to pursue. But on the other hand, I was also aware that I needed to have a steady income whilst looking for an internship. This led to me falling into a rigid full-time work circle at a retail establishment. The money was good but I was left feeling uninspired, under-valued and disheartened by the lack of stimulation from my environment. Working long hours also meant that I was tired and out of practice when it came to doing artwork in my spare time. When I actually had a day off to do applications I no longer felt equipped to fulfil the roles that I was applying for and felt stuck in a job that I had no passion for. I also didn’t have as much time to see my friends because I was so tired and ended up in quite a low place.
