Needle in a haystack

Having just graduated from Warwick University with a degree in Film with Television Studies, unsurprisingly I’m having little luck on the slog that is the Great Job Hunt.  



I’d love to work in something, well ANYTHING, to do with community arts.  Or charity/community work.  Or just the arts.  Or maybe media.  My very unexpected graduation present from my lovely lovely parents was a DSLR.  The Canon EOS 450d is a fantastic camera and has been/will be accompanying me almosteverywhere I go now.  I’ve been interested in photography for years but this has cranked my enthusiasm up a notch.  Being a professional photographer sounds highly appealing, though I have a lot to learn.  So for now it’s a hobby I enjoy. With my heart set on community/charity/arts/media work, hopefully I’ll be able to incorporate some happy snapping into my job one day.  
Or maybe I’ll wake up tomorrow to find a vacancy for an apprentice photographer at a leading newspaper.

  1. I feel the same way - working in the arts is so full-filling, although I've always been wary of the pay. I always feel a little discourage that the two things I'm best at - teaching and the arts - usually pay the least.
