Thank you Maricelle, a good teacher is just invaluable, right? I had a physics teacher like that...

Oh my! Thank you, fixed!

You know, once I started getting jobs, my work got me more jobs. But here are some tips if you're a web designer. Always include your link in the footer (WITH the "t"), connect yourself to G+, post your work on your social media accounts and Pinterest, work on your own site's SEO and sitelinks and Google places, be nice to your clients, and do good work.

As far as the open source world goes, jump into a project (if you haven't already). The connections you make will form your future.

I wish you all the luck in the world!
