Nice work Sic. Congrats to you dude 
Thats my problem. I sit there thinking what I can do, but nothing comes to me. When I was at uni, I stayed up most nights coding for assignments and had no problem finding out the solution.
Half my problem is that I lack imagination. I have VS2005 free from Uni and I thought I'd try and do something with C# to try and learn it, I just couldn't think of anything to do.

The best I could come up with was some silly little database with a self-made front end for my MP3 library.
The idea was to input info on all my songs into this db such as Artist/Band, title, year, genre etc so I could then erm search for songs of a certain genre in the 1970s and then make a playlist or something.
Then a mate of mine told me he had to do something pretty similar for a Uni assignment.
Nice to hear mate.
I only know html.....and for my coursework i have to make my own online store for a small bookshop, with the same type of system as popular online stores, so customer logins, admin cp's, shopping carts, checkouts etc......and i havent even learnt php yet!

Thats basically what I am doing at uni except other way round, doing a project in asp and in my spare time learning PHP. The similarities are there but I prefer PHP so far
So, I got the job offer for Junior Web Developer, which I accepted. (3 months probation 
)
Main work will involve helping maintain current/new website, code front end complaint XHTML / CSS. In addition develop knowledge of PHP/MySql and MySource Matrix CMS(training provided).
Side jobs will include build stock photo library, manage/create video and podcast, SEO, awareness and help identify new ways to market.
Salary is not too hot but it will be good experience to build on my Multimedia Computing degree.
I hope my story will be successful as Sic's!

I find I can identify with the thoughts and posts in this thread because of the subject matter, even though I only code and dev websites as a part time business on the side, quite apart from my main career which is as far removed from web design and development as you could probably get.

Just to keep the appreciation alive. I just got a job as a Junior Web Developer and Graphic Designer and if not for creating hundreds of signatures in my teens I dont think I would be as proficient or creative today. So while many have thanked me for making them signatures, I owe them thanks too.
WooOcuk!
