This will be an odd message to say, but is something that the real Laboral life just teach me, and i'd like to share the experience to you guys.
Maybe will be contradictory because things always teach us to do the best we can on everything, that we always should act this way with our family, with our friends, in what we do. We always should do the best...
The Sad truth is, in the real life, when you give the best of you to do things. They are gonna be sure to take adventaje of yourself, there were gonna be someone who will crush your hopes in believe they are a greater good and that what you do will be Worthwhile, and have those fellings crushed, really it doesn't worth at all.
No matter if you think you are doing the "right thing" or if you sacrifice even yourself thinking that the reward and apreciattion will be great, i'll told you the true about this world... Being Nice, Being good, sacrifice yourself, those don't work on this world. Think in yourself first as goal, think about what you will do for yourself than what you will do for other more than anything, that is how you are gonna survive outside.
In case you guys wonder why i'm saying those things, i'll do a short resume about what happened to be harsh and sincere with my experience.
1.- I did an internship on a pharmacy, from March to September where i started to feel i could help to improve. Since it wasn't a payed internship i apreciatte each cash they give me for help them (3 US hours) in a long run, i started to feel care from the people that work in it (except for one of the bosses).
2.- Since i started a relationship of concern with the work i do there, even if my internship comes to end and i was totally free from them. I keep working on it, even leaving aside and slown down my thesis project for work inside, working without contract because the pharmacist and his wife wanted me to have my title in hands to contract me. (Which get delayed because was working for them)
3.- In November, the pharmacist had a pre-stroke, because i didn't want the pharmacy to close because her wife didn't wanted to get a true pharmacist to cover them due "money", I accept to work there until the Pharmacist recover, covering his work to the point i was putting in danger my title because i was working as a graduate without the title. The Payment was the same, 3 US/hour, still no contract. The burden was bigger as well the risk... But i did because i didn't had others to lost their work.
4.- The Pharmacist returned in december, 28th of that month i get my title and talked at the next day available with them about working for the pharmacy as a Pharmacist. They told me they were gonna pay me the same amount but in the end they were gonna give me a really, really big "increase". I was happy, i was gonna firm the contract by the end of January and was gonna be with them and improve and apply my thesis i did for improve their lab, make the quality of the preparation be crucial and make the pharmacy even better.
5.- I worker hard, still with not contract with the idea i was gonna get a big increase after all, a Pharmacist here in average, the first year, get payed 1.200.000 pesos monthly (1670 US). With that in mind i keep doing my best... But the thursday i saw the contract and the world crumble... It was for 500.000 pesos (700 US). I felt insulted, the big difference was that, instead of 3 US/hour i get increased to 4 US/Hours. Where all the promises go? I felt insulted, i sacrifice a lot of my time, i sacrifice myself, even my title for them and that was their reply. I mentioned i wasn't gonna accept the contract, that ridiculous amount. When they asked me how much i was wanting to get, I mentioned still a under the average, yet an ammount i didn't mind to keep for a small pharmacy, i mentioned i was happy with 800.000 pesos (1120 US), they treat me like i was crazy, that i was a greedy piece of shit and that i didn't valued all the "knowledge" they give me, making me end with my spirit broken and the trust on people 2 miles underground.
So now, i just wanted to share my thought, warn you guy about this... Never give the best of you to people, keep it for when it trully should matter. Learn to differenciate when you should do your best, but pick with a lot of critical intelect, just a phew one deserve, the other just want to use you and take benefints from your expenses no matter how nice word they use, or how warm they make you feel...

Thanks you for all your support.
Today i have finished organizing my folder of commission, all the commission i have made on my artist life. I'm impressed of the numbers, i have over 15 years drawing and around 10 years that i starting to take commission and i'd not be here in the place i am now if it weren't for all the people that keep supporting my work, i have keep all the commission i have made (I don't think i have erased anything to be honest)
I know there are still more progress to do, there are more stuff i need to finish and that i still need to improve, looking back my first commission, looking the new ones i have made,it have make me pretty proud of myself~

Yesterday i became 31 years old, I have being in this fandom since i was 12 even if i didn't knew what it was those felling, i used to draw people tf into animal in my school books, drawings i used to threw away and see as a shame and a weird stuff that no one would like to see. Eventually I'd discover websites with people doing drawing similar to the ones i do, and thanks to ageaus, i eventually started to show and work on drawings since 2005.
13 Years ago i started to draw and upload pictures in Deviantart, then i started in Furaffinity and since then i haven't stopped to work on stuff, to work on things you guys wanna see. Eventually i st

Hello there Guys, long time without see you. Right now i'm not doing that well, being dealing with a lot of stuff happening on my life, and while things aren't bad as they have solution and i have already things on my way that would help me up in a long term.
Right now, I was fired from the Municipal place so i'm working 22 hours Weekly on the Pharmacy. Now, Why i was fired you wonder? Well, In 2018 i started to get in charge of the FOFAR (Fondo de Farmacias) Procedure that got focused on Cardiocascular illness, The procedure start in April, I prepared my working plan and shared with the head of the municipal health department to get help to

I'm going to be blunt, but that is an unfortunate truth in our society. Yes, what the Pharmacy did was terrible, but here is the thing with Business: maximize profits by whatever means necessary. Mexico is kind of a bad place to be right now, the US has a minimum wage of around $7-8/hour, but places like Wal-Mart treat their employees like slaves, working long hours in dangerous conditions for a low wage for the job in question. But, being an Arizona resident, finding jobs here is becoming increasingly difficult.
However, there is some good places to work. I've heard tales of how In-'n-Out Burger (a personal favorite Fast-Food Restaurant that has actual food) treats their employees very well, and an entry level job is around $10/hour. Costco, being a Premium Storehouse Market, also pays really well, and can be around $10/hour just greeting people at the door. My Step-Mom worked there for the longest time, until she got a back injury and was told she couldn't work by her doctor (she has since gotten a new job, but the connections are still there). And the best part is, you only need to be 18 and older to apply, making it a really awesome entry-level job. Just don't work in the Bakery on the late shift. My Step-Mom gave me that tip.
However, my brother has experience with the other side of the job industry: AMC Theatres. He hasn't gotten a raise since he started there more than 3 years ago, and the conditions are not that great, primarily due to lousy managers who either give a whole lot of shifts and almost no customers, or very few shifts and it looks like Black Friday came several weeks early. Not to mention his second job at GoodWill, whose reputation with employees and even employers has reached an all-time low due to cruel and unsafe conditions and greedy management. He quit that job after a few months, despite Mom's protests, who still believed he shouldn't have done that, but ultimately reversed her perception when she learned of the recent reputation (she didn't exactly take it well).
Trust me, it could be a whole lot worse. After doing some math, it seems you are full time, because 700 / 4 / 4 is around 44 hours a week. By looking at the amount you would like, based on a 44-hour work week, you would be making around $6.36/hour. That... still isn't a whole lot by US standards. However, labor laws are somewhat absent abroad, hence major companies moving operations abroad to reduce costs, which by itself is really dumb.
The best company owners are those who would cut their own salaries to keep their workers in a time of crisis, who, unfortunately, are few and far between. It would seem that Independent Game Studios are the ones who are really responsible for their employees (Larian Studios, a company who I adore for putting their heart an soul into the games they make, has one of the best social environments I've ever seen in a Developer Studio) I also really like certain outlets like Rooster Teeth that have some of the best personalities I've ever seen in a Professional Studio, and the only time people ever leave is that they either move on from the studio, or died tragically, like the man who created Rwby all those years ago. He will be missed

Sorry if I ranted a bit, but I've been in a rather observational mood since I began taking Introduction to Popular Culture just two weeks ago. Ultimately, the best thing to do is move on and start over. To be honest, the best job in the world is the one where you do what you love. You like to Draw? You can make a career out of it. Play games? You'd be surprised how many YouTubers got famous for that alone, and some of the grander ones are very well off. Are you a great singer? You don't need to be in the music industry to be successful (Lindsey Stirling was denied a Contract, and became wildly successful anyway, as well as Boyce Avenue, who now have their own independent studio label)! In the end, just do what you love, at first as a hobby, then you can make it a career out of it if you practice hard enough. Some artists here on DeviantArt are already successful because of support from fans and commissions, not including those that are part of a network...
I should stop. Like... now...
