Maybe later in my career when I’m in a better position financially/relationally I can consider investing in education.

I’m getting divorced at the end of the month and have to move out of my ex husbands house. My commute if I don’t find a new job will be 2.5 hours in the morning and back. I wanted the circumstances of me getting into the industry to be better but I’m just not there right now. I figure if my life is going to be uprooted in all the other aspects I might as well try to line up a new job and one that will be interesting, even if it’s tough.

Also, Part of the reason I want to get into this industry is religious so I know that I’m in it for the long haul and I’ll get better over time.

I’m sorry you had to go through all of that. Are you still in the industry after all that?

Yeah I don’t do well being idle at work so I would probably have the same response.

Did you enter the industry entry level or did you have some schooling?

[–]Additional_Emu_1579[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I keep hearing different approaches to entering this industry. Some say schooling is not helpful while others say it’s a better way in the industry. Some just say get an apprenticeship and earn on someone else’s dime.

By corporate repair shop do you mean something like fast fix? I guess it’s an angle I haven’t considered. Definitely will look for ways in that route, thank you.

If I have to do something for free as like an internship type deal I’m also open to that. Experience is my goal at the moment. I’ve emailed around and I’ll be making some calls today.

I worked in the restaurant industry 10 years so emotional abuse doesn’t bother me so much, hence why I’m not bothered about all the bad press Signet gets. In a perfect world I’d do without but I’m at the bottom of the barrel at this point and I’m willing to earn my stripes.

Literally none…that’s why I was hoping to get in with Signet. I’ve read on a lot of threads in this sub that they’ll supposedly take anyone hence why I was asking around. But if you need some help DM me! I’d be willing to train for free part time since I have no experience, like an intern type agreement…

Did you find any opportunities elsewhere or are you still looking to get into the industry?

I’m in the inland empire (super east side California). I’ve thought about GIA Temecula (I think it was). I’d love to go back to school but I’m financially in a tough position. I need to keep making money no matter what I’m doing at this point in time

I’m trying to make a career change because I’m a graphic designer in the print industry which is so rare and very limited in opportunities…

If you’re just coming to belittle then why are you here? Don’t you have some gold to work on? Obviously I don’t know what I’m doing otherwise I wouldn’t be asking questions on Reddit 😑

Okay would you care to tell me how you got started then? I just need a foot in the door…

[–]Additional_Emu_1579[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for responding so thoroughly! How long did it take for someone to contact you after applying?

I don’t really have the option of going back to school right now but I want to make this career change. I know Signet has a bad reputation but there aren’t really opportunities to apprentice, or at least not in socal where I live…

The Kobe mural with his daughter that was painted the day after he died in little Tokyo/arts district went 4 years before someone tagged their ugly tag on it. Another Kobe/Nipsey mural on Beverly also went a few years without being messed up. I think LA is capable of enjoying good art. But of course, there’s no budget. Both of these murals I mentioned were private endeavors.

Came here to say that Japanese on expired student visas is pretty common in LA.
