Nope. I got my first job because of my freelance experience. Nothing related to my degree. Since then I've been a copywriter, website administrative assistant, tutor and now I'm an illustrator.

Lol, its the same here.
The only people working in their field are designers.

Is it paying enough to keep you fed and warm?

Not right now. I've been ill for the last two years and couldn't work full-time. But it'll get better.

Thats terrible, you gonna be ok?

I'm fine. I have a great doctor. I have my family who support me. I have a job that I love. I'm getting my life back together.

That is good to hear.
Do ya'll get free medical care?

Technically, it's free. But I don't want my doctor to starve on a state salary so I "thank" him for his hard work.
