I need help... Need ideas
14 years ago
I've been wracking my brain about things that I could make and sell. I've come up empty. I've tried opening for commissions, but I've only ever had one MAYBE two people say anything. I've tried making bracelets/collars and other things from paracord, but no one seems interested. I'm at a loss. I'm trying to raise some money for my wedding in August, and I need to supplement my measly security wages with something to earn a few more bucks.
What I really need is a career in the industry I was trained for: graphic design/pre-press. I am also trained in the process of screen printing and can produce a product from start to finish. I have all this, and more, on my resume, but no company wants to hire me, despite the fact that I graduated with honors and all that bull. It's like it doesn't count for shit.
I didn't want this to get ranty, but I guess I needed to say it.
What I need from you guys are ideas of things I could make/sell that would actually bring in some cash. I'm at an impasse and need some guidance. Please, anything you can think of...

I've not done alot of animating. I have done some animated snow critters of some people's sona's, but did them as gifts. I put them up for sale too, to have custom ones done and I sold two.
But I guess anything is worth a try.
its hard to offer ideas as the economy right now is crud an so much is likely to fail
my friend kyrin has a BA in animal sciences an cant find work relating or using her degree so she processes fish after working as a calf feeder at a dairy 50k in degree an cant use it
The world is in trouble. You're always told to get an education, make something of yourself, but when you've been through schooling, and still can't get a decent career, its almost like there's no hope.
i know hard work using my hands an brains to learn a job an do it well being adaptive is a important trait
but now so many have gone through college its just like once having completed High school as the best you can do now its expected whats next above this?
i just dont know
I'll also see about making you a section on my site if you want?
It still doesn't solve my "what to sell". I can't draw fast enough/good enough to make it worth my while, and I don't think I'll ever get to that point. Still clueless on what to do.
and yes, we're already planning for you to room with us :)
