After interning at Marvel Comic for a 3 semesters in college, myself and many others were shocked that no interns were hired when I graduated in 92. Prob was, that Marvel was on their downward slide to bankruptcy.
So I floated around for about 2 years waiting for something to fall in my lap, but there was a recession going on, and art jobs were impossible to find. I took odd jobs from places like Sears, JC Penney's, A&S, etc. Finally I got a job at a newspaper company out on LI, and began designing ads on the computer there. Got a job in NYC 6 years ago, and have been with the same publishing company since then. (worked in 4 different divisions though). Some have been good, some sucked...but it's a steady paycheck and during these days...which is much like the recession of the mid-90's...I appreciate having some stability.
Once the economy and industry looks up, I'll be looking to move on.

There are four kinds of people in this world: cretins, fools, morons, and lunatics.
