Lauren

thanks so much for the wonderous comment. It is so true that in times of chaos like these w economic hardships political instability and deep cultural crevices the opportunities seem to limited. But in fact now is when the creatives find a way to start new ventures consider things they might never have if things were hunky dory. Thanks for stopping by. Looking forward to collaborating w u!

I totally agree with this. After being laid off from my job, I had no intentions of going back to work for another organization that basically uses employees as slave labor (really, they all do to some degree). I’d been working on forming my own business on the side for eight months prior to losing my job, and the day I was let go, I knew immediately who I’d be working for next – myself. In fact, the purpose of my business is to cultivate web-based educational tools to help people become autodidacts in their areas of interest. In my opinion, the concept of “higher education” is totally outdated and sub par. The “skills” I learned in college are now outdated a mere five years later, yet the debt is not. Now is the time for people to learn how to use available web/tech/social media resources to learn and to actually produce something! The thing I always hated most about an office is that I was never a producer, only a consumer pushing paper for a distant singular producer. I was always, and still am, far too creative for that. Unfortunately, as I see reinforced on a daily basis, many people lack the creativity and DRIVE to do anything other than work for someone else, even if money and status isn’t the biggest issue at hand. What can I say? These times have great potential for creative, driven folks but, sadly, we are the minority.
