I've been thinking a lot about opening my own shop, wouldn't that be nice to spend all day in a cosy little shop full of candles and incense and pretty things? But I'm also thinking that I've seen so many shops like that open up in this town and they barely last a few months before they have to close down. I really want to say it's worth the risk but I would be kicking myself if I got into a load of debt over some silly dream. I don't know where I'm going right now, I'm thinking maybe I will have to go back to uni in order to get a proper career and get employed by some kind of illustration company thing. But again the debt worries me, education is just too expensive, I can't believe I had the chance to get a degree before they doubled the fees and I blew it. I can't believe they doubled the fees!!! :'( I was always told I'd have to have some crappy job and only be able to do art on the side, but at the time I didn't much care, I just wanted to do it anyway. Now I am seriously regretting that because I can't stand this stupid meaningless monkey job.
