how *you* would go about getting the job of your dreams. **Catch:** you have technically no experience in the field and no formal schooling

thinks
with the right contacts it could be done. I'd like to do voice work.

if so, you probably want to get your feet wet as computer operator or something like that first?
ThoughtWrong
wants
to use his brain and not his brawn (of which he has little anyways)
seriously, there are a lot of people in out IT division who started out as an operator

persistence and do what you're told...that's how I got mine

says
perhaps doing an unpaid internship to get your foot in the door, show people what you can do, and gain contacts in the field.

unfortunately, easier said than done. You and your family need to be fed, clothed, and housed. And bills need to be paid.

I worked my ass off, got the experience, and it happened. May have been lucky, though.
ThoughtWrong
asks
kdfrawg worked your ass off how? like how did you get into the field to begin with?
OMGLaShae
says
if this is your *dream* job then even technically you might have no experience but you have passion so use it and network, network, networt
ThoughtWrong
says
before you got the experience
ThoughtWrong
says
when I say technically that means no experience according to previous jobs. I do have the experience and am learning all the time.
ThoughtWrong
says
that just means that most jobs wont view studying and creating on my own "experience"
KDFrawg 🐸
says
I learned by myself at first, worked for free next, then did little jobs for non-profits for not much.

If you can perform the tasks, you can find somebody that will hire you.
