All Washed Up: With Many Debts to Pay (critique requested)

Annisokay - “New Autumn Light”

This is vent art, but it doesn’t reflect my current mood. I have student loan debt and I don’t make enough money to move out. “I don’t make enough money” is a phrase that makes me cry sometimes if I think about it too much. It’s not that I love money or wealth, but not being able to support yourself, at least for a guy, is pretty much a mark of failure in life. Good news is that this is only temporary and I’ll make more money one day.

As for the image, I did not draw the background and I used several filters. I know the lighting kind of sucks but I’m just trying out colors for now.

    the frustration is understandable. especially if you're seeking independence. sometimes i wonder if me not going to college was a blessing in disguise as all I hear recently is how people have gone to college only to be disappointed when they finally graduate and left with a ball and chain called "Student Loan". I'm sorry this has happened to you, and I wish there was some way I could help. The only honest advice I could give at the moment though is to not give up looking for a fair paying job. Keep applying, keep throwing your name and resume out there and be persistent. I hate how applying for jobs works now a days as everything is done online and electronically. The advent of technology has hindered our humanity and we leave it up to computers to filter through acceptable candidates. But just keep at it. eventually someone will see your potential and give you the opportunity you deserve.

      Thanks for the reply! And not to worry - it has been a while since I had posted this, and since then I got a raise (but only because I had asked). I just paid off another portion of my student loan, but there's still quite a bit to go. I still haven't moved out, but I'm able to get by for now. I had thought about doing commissions at one point, and I suppose that is always an option if I need it, but I'm so busy right now with work and life that I haven't had time. In any case I appreciate the encouragement! I hope things are going well for you as well!
