To be honest, I didn't get any real breaks until about a year or so out of school. And even now, 3 years later, I still have to hold a barely-interesting day job just to support the freelancing stuff.<br /><br />Sermon time: Make up some mailers, get a mailing list together, and start sending crap out. I've got a couple good sources for relativly inexpensive mailers if you want.<br /><br />Freelance is definitely the hardest route to take, and full-time is more secure (comes with insurance benefits too). But doing some freelance work will get you a nice professional portfolio to show.<br /><br />In the meantime...learn every bloody thing you can. New programs, printing process, everything. Trust me, it'll help.<br /><br />End of sermon.
