now you made me feel bad.
I have the wall decorated with a Bsc. in engineering, a graduate diploma, and Masters degree in IT
and no Job!.
a Degree Is Worthless, you get a piece of paper after spending 4+ or more years of your life; Collaborate!.
out of topic. every day is a new beginning
so a short text for you and start over:
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
The bliss of growth
The glory of action
The splendor of achievement.
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well lived makes yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Great advice. This is the true wonder of HN community
To-do
1. sing up to Linkedin (should have done it from the beginning)
2. call every Wev dev company in Melbourne
3. be brave
4. open source
5. call some more
6. Use social media
Thank you! this is the kind of advice I was craving for
You are right... what I have done so far is send messages stating my intent to possible employers with a link to my site. This has proven futile. I will do as you suggest, Thank you!

from the self-post dept.
I'm new to web development, and have worked for two months creating iteration after iteration of my personal portfolio www.smaugh.net however I haven't being able to find a job or to make a single dollar out of my work. Please help! what am I doing wrong? this is my passion! I really love writing code and dream to become amazing at it.
Congratulations! you have a beautiful child and your wife is amazing. Thank you for sharing your idea. I'm looking forward to be one of the first customers of your product.
Sometimes reading HN we focus so much in coding, and start-ups and trends, brands and frameworks, that forget that all of this (life)is more about fulfilling our goals, having a supporting family and being happy. Thank you
Now... back to my code

Is this your code? I would like to contribute (I'm not so proficient with JavaScript though, but a huge fan of diablo. (usually re-install it every two years)
Just payed the required $450 to have my Australian Master degree accredited by the ACS, that was only after I had spent $60.000+ in tuition fees in two years.
only to see that the temporary residency application fee rose from $315 to $1250, (almost 400% increase in only one year)... :( some much money.
I truly believe they have gone too far and soon they will start missing all the money from the international student and skilled migrants. (sorry for any grammar mistakes)
thank you, I was looking for something like this, have to keep the label "use with caution". but great work
