its not all that bad. the pay is okay since im pretty young. and I'm getting my own studio at the end of april, so then i will be my own boss.

after working for five years in studios i finally realised what i knew from the beginning
DAVE IS DA BOSS ; )
...but the experience of working in an office was essential

Having the best month thus far for myself. I'm scheduled to make around 10g's and if I had more time I could easily make another two.
I can't complain...life is suave.
and yes, I work for myself and yes I just typed all this out in my under wear. :)

brooke, i know exactly what you mean...when i first started at my job, i was the happiest, even tho i wasn't making nearly as much as i should have. now, about 1.5 yrs later i'm really thinking about it again...every day i ask why i come here...everytime i put up with something the bosses do that doesnt make sense i get more and more upset and just want to walk out. it was supposed to get better, i was supposed to have people under me, but alas, i am the only one here, still bearing the brunt that according to the bosses "will have to gete worse before it gets better" and "you are still young, it takes time" ...it's bullshit. i want out.

i could be totally wrong because i don't know you at all, but your mood seems to suggest that change is needed, and beyond just your job...perhaps NYC isn't for you....i mean for 1400.00 you could be buying your own house somewhere else....maybe think about why you're there in the first place, then the job siutation will be clearer for you, and clearer if you should pursue other work to stay there
i am of the opinion that ultimately it is where you are at, and not just your job that make one the happiest....
as an example, i almost moved to NYC last month on a job offer, but turned it down because of similar thinking

Taragee, PT would so not be worth it. I already have a 3 hour total commute every day.

And I don't mean to be such a complainer in this thread. I've been pretty unhappy at my job in general for the past few months. What I'd really love is to get out on my own. But I also have this terrible fear of disappointing my mother. I know she wants me to be happy, but she's so proud of me for getting the job in the first place. She loves to brag & I wouldn't want to let her down.

Toastie, that is both tempting and impossible.
What's new!

damn the living cost in NY. Spent a summer there, yeah had holes in my pocket after that.
- dave_bxcr0
3 hours on the way everyday is the worse brooke. : [
nobody keeps that up. unless youre a ro-bot.
make yourself happy and make a decision.

brooke - are you living for your mother...or for you?
she's your mother sweets - as long as you are happy she has nothing to complain about...I mean heck - you upped and moved to NY and scored a great job - she's stoked for you - but if she knew how you were feeling about it....I think she would understand.
We all want our parents to be proud of what we are doing...but at the expense of personal happiness - is that really a good enough reason?

i used to live in NY, best thing to do is to commute from Long Island, where its cheaper... and the city is only a train ride away... granted you have to get up at 4:00am to catch the train and make it to work on time :/ theres a downside to everything though.
- swollenelbow0
pixel, Long Island, isn't cheap either...if you want a decent place you've got to pay, at lease 1300$ a month...it's just tough any which way to see it...
damn, life.

o thats rigth brooke i forgot about the commute :|
i know peopel who work PT at liek starbucks or applestore for the benefits and then do freelance...
- PixelDrama0
there are places on long island that are considered ghetto, but better than living in the heart of the bronx or queens. Towns like Brentwood, and West Islip. You can find apartments there for around 800-900 that are ok. sometimes cheaper depending on the gheto-ness ;)

I work as a storageclerk
( for the next six months)
- swollenelbow0
i'm working in hicksville, and i looked around here for apts only to find some small places with big rent...
