Jobs to work while building art skills?
4yr
I am just so sick of working in grocery stores or garbage Mexican restaurants, It brings my mood down every day I work it's always so depressingly boring I get in my car and scream after every shift just to get out of this funk they put me in. I was working at a fuel center attached to a Kroger (Which is just some texas based organization similar to Tom Thumb or Albertsons) and it was my favorite job so far just because I sat in front of a window, and with the sun pointing at me, I doodled in a sketchbook and sold grumpy, wrinkly trailer trash people cigarettes, So of course when I find some sort of balance between doing something I enjoy with something I have to do for a living, they throw me out. And it WAS NOT because of the drawing, the reason why is unrelated, but I got fired nevertheless. I always look for jobs online that pertain to my interests but they're always in another state or require knowledge I just don't have yet. (I can draw cartoons and basic perspective, but the moment you ask me to draw a portrait I'll be completely stumped) so... TL;DR : I want advice on any sort of job that I can pursue my own interests while working. Like a job where you barely do anything at all, or leaves you with lots of downtime to just doodle in a sketchbook. It's a childish request and I understand that. I'm frustrated today and I want to ask around for an answer to my troubles.
