Hire Me Please

What scares me most about graduating from this program is my lack of real world experience. What Phil said really scared me but unfortunately it's true--people don't care how many degrees you have, it's what you can do with it that matters. I am hoping I have learned enough skills to get by in the design world for a few years while I'm building my portfolio, but what if it's not enough? What does a girl from Alaska do with a good education and no experience? Maybe this is a question that could be best answered by Sarah Palin.
