A  couple of things, plus some venting on the side.

I'm currently in the process of searching for a job, of which I've gotten zero replies from all I've applied. I've recently gotten fired from a job which paid monthly but of which my boss stated "You don't pay attention to detail" but gave me all of (literally) two days to work on such a flaw. He said to use him as a reference, which I obliged him by, stating "I won't give you a bad rep" but I'm afraid it won't make much of a difference since I was only at that job for three weeks.

Now, I'm an entry level worker but I know I don't suck that much. I'm not saying I didn't make any mistakes, but I really could've used the experience to help get me somewhere else, (i.e., I could've fixed the problems I had given more time). Injustices aside, I've tried the keyword formula dozen of times, if not everytime, as well as other Monster.com-esque sites and have gotten next to no calls with even fewer interviews. I suppose I should post my resume so you guys can take a look at it even though I base it off my largely successful older cousin.

I can't move without a car, I got school loans to pay... the list goes on. But to the main event, since it's a bit hard to get a job in my field, I wanted to try and make some cash myself. I'm an animator/illustrator and I wanted to make my own animation company but I don't know the first thing about entrepreneurship. I also know  that I need some kind of day job in order to finance such a venture. Can anyone help a struggling animator trapped in a world where they are too experienced for Blockbuster Video but too amateur for their career choice?
