In great times people get a start by having a college degree and firms are so desperate to hire they are snapped up. In good times it takes some work. And in bad times, like today and the foreseeable future, parts of your letter could be written by tens if not hundreds of thousand college graduates.</p>
<p>I can empathize that your college education was not what you hoped for or deserved. However you are mistaken if you think that having a different degree is going to get you a job. It does in fields like nursing, accounting, etc. but not in most. And if you’re thinking of going back largely so that you can get some internships, you can get internships even after you’ve finished college. And depending on what it is that you want to create, why aren’t you spending time now doing it for non-profits and the like in order to build a portfolio? In effect you can create your own internship by volunteering your time and expertise, which I assume you have in some areas already (otherwise why would firms on career builder, etc. have any reason to hire you?)</p>
<p>You also need to ask yourself if the 3D classes are essential to getting the job you now say you want. And if so, is a degree program the only way to get them? Many times you can find classes like this taught at a CC or in Extension courses, and that way you can take just the specific things you need.</p>
<p>I suggest you get the book “What Color is My Parachute?” Its a classic in the field, and using it you’ll understand how to learn what criteria is used to hire people doing the work you want to do, as well as how to get advice from those in the field.</p>
