Some stuff I made is in my flickr if you wanted to look... But your right about the never had job prospects part. I went to college without a aim and ended up doing computing, geography, maths and physics in my first year. Failed maths and physics so I thought I retake maths and drop physics for accounting, failed those in my second year. In my third year I retook A2 computing and Geography and picked up AS 3d design which I completely ACED with best grade in that year, I always liked making things, still do. But even after that I still didn't have a job in mind. Being chinese I have your typical chinese parents that thinks you should study 24/7 and never pleased with what their children does, I went to uni and did 3d design to shutup my parents and hoping I would find a goal by the end, but I didn't.
I like the practical type of jobs, making things/taking things apart, I just don't know what to do with myself at the moment. Being turned down for so many jobs is a bummer and makes me feel like I'll never even get an semi-decent job. That's my story
EDIT: Like to add that I also did 3d design at uni was back then I was thinking a degree is better than no degree. Now I wish I didn't do uni and just did an apprenticeship like carpentry or something like that.
