When reviewing potential employment opportunities be sure to focus on the technology, software and hardware the job requires. Towards that end, I’ve reviewed and edited 3 of the 5 jobs I found on monster.com. Looks like I’ll be in community college for the rest of my natural days accumulating the technology requirements for some of these jobs - except for the Freelance Production Artist, which sounds kind of entry level and doesn’t capitalized on any of the skills I’ve learned since returning to college.
