How I did it: I didn;t "find a job"  I made a job.  I created an organized list of my skills, talents and interests.  There are tons of things that make me happy.  They all fit into one business- Creative Services.  So after realizing no one was going to hire me in that industry I started my own.  I look for opportunities everywhere to host an event, design a flyer, make a website etc.... slowly but surely I am gaining clients and a reputation. 

Lessons & tips: My suggestion is to simply start.  Don't wait for all of the pieces to
fall into place- they won't!  You have to be accountable for your own
destiny and happiness.  Do what you love.  Whenever you can. Actively
pursue opportunities to do what you love.  For free, for money,
volunteering... everywhere. Eventually you'll be doing it all the time.
