My current job is a hobby that I like to do. I really like design but in 2008, my design hobby was opposed by my father because he thought it could not be a job. Dad wants me to work as a tax accountant like him or work like a stock trader like my mother. Therefore, I could not go to college and was not given the opportunity to study design.
But fortunately at this time, technology and information have advanced. When I was working with high school titles, I learned self-taught about design like from google, youtube, tutorial videos, reading magazines or books. I also save my salary to take online design classes, seminars and more. And thankfully, now my hobby is my income. I am now a Graphic Designer as I want.
At this time I have not worked in my old office. I already have my own design business at home and I only need to work from home. Sales are pretty good. Besides that, I also get passive income from the Fiverr.com and Graphicriver.com websites for every sale of my online design.
One thing I remember, if one door is closed, another door will open for you. I believe that the door to my college is closed but I don't give up and always try to find another door. Point I don't give up on your dreams. And I really enjoy the results now. Hopefully this can be an inspiration for Mylot friends.

I am very happy for you. Hopefully, you have inspired others not to give up too easily but to work hard and have patience in whatever they do.
Many think that making money is an overnight thing, but it really needs hard work and patience. I'm glad that I was patient.
