Hello,
I am web designer trained in the graphic arts who has been unable to find employment for A VERY LONG TIME,
I have 2 associates degrees in graphic arts(and not a typical 4-year degree from a state university in(cs or graphic design or business)
My problem is NO one will hire me as a full-time designer and I cannot go into any other field because I dont have a 4 year degree or related experience(i.e sales, marketing,etc.).

I am over getting a design job and now just focusing on ANY job at a reasonable pay(35k-45k),but my resume and background is scattered with various design contracts and short-term employment along with my 2 associates degrees.

Have condisered going back to school, but how can you do that when your budget wont allow working part time. Im stuck In between!!!!!!!!!

Need help, how do I get out of this!!!

Thanks
Daniel

I currently live in Brazil with my wife who works for the Brazilian government. I have a business management degree but I am having trouble finding work because I don´t have a lot of real world experience so I am considering getting a degree here in Web Design and programming. (I enjoy the creative side of web design and the technical skills you learn.) Here in Brazil there is a market for people with web programming skills to create and maintain websites. But, being American I have the desire to return to the US maybe in a few years so I´m curious to know if there is a market in the US for people with degrees in web design and programming.
