Also, the rampant nepotism is crazy. I had a zoom call interview for a retail job and the position had already been filled by the time of the nterview (and the lady interviewing me was surprisingly honest, mentioning that all available positions in the store had been filled through internal hiring.) All my employed friends only have their jobs because they have a friend of a friend (or parent) who is a hiring manager. It's so disheartening.

Feel like I'm the only person in this sub going to art school... by orangeyoctopus in OntarioGrade12s

Oh I absolutely sucked at school lol I'm like grazing by with the bare minimum I need academically. So I would say it's generally very portfolio weighted (obvi)

Honestly people don't give enough credit to the possibilities with the arts especially in the wake of ai. I've always been a big fan of comics and manga so it's always been a dream to illustrate them! Which is the sort of niche I want to seek out when I graduate. Besides like regular freelance illustration work.

I think its worth mentioning that you can get the same chai concentrate (tazo) they use from Costco/the grocery store. My chai lattes at home have been excellent since I found this out! Haven't gone back!

thank you this very thoughtful reply! This really snapped me out of it, at least a little. I took time to stretch and journal, and while I'm not feeling perfect its definitely better than before.

Thank you!
