Well I'm out of school with a degree and working a glorified version of my student job (glorified means 2x $).
I am getting quite good at this Web programming stuff but I fear it is stealing too much time and energy from
my artistic side sometimes, as it's becoming tough to find time/energy to work on my portfolio.

I need art so my life doesn't become reduced to a series of TO-DO lists. It's one of the things I have that I
can be creative and constructive with, that doesn't obligated me to a deadline - so maybe I shouldn't try to
get an art job? Meh, even in programming sometimes I'll come home and program for fun So yeah that's
probably not an issue.
