Another day, another rejection mail

Today has been spent trawling the net for design jobs, I'm coming to the point where i'm thinking should I simply go grab a retail job to pay the bills and use my spare time to do design? Does it have to be like this?
I mean, there must be a job out there for me!
Ive decided to apply for an Ma in Design and Art Direction also to add a bit more bulk to my knowledge and also I'm sure to meet some like minded individuals in the same boat!
I've come across a site with a cracking competition in the form of designing the outside casings of a laptop. It is ran by MTV in partnership with Hewlett Packard and can be found HERE . I recommend having a bash as theirs some great prizes up for grabs and it's always good to win a comp and throw it in your folio!
In other news, yet another day, another rejection letter, I am convinced that I shall one day be in my dream job and am still keeping the determination to crack on and not become fazed!
Ive got a couple of books to read tonight, do a work out and then hit the friends house for a bit of banter and some xBox 36'ing!
Until tomorrow - Bonjour, Bon soir' and good morning!

Oh and if you were wondering what the small dot above the i is called......it's a tittle.
