if its that hard to find jobs in bulgaria, try find some freelancing stuff threw the internet. another option i would do is, try get an internship at the three studios you have said about. or if you cant do that, try ask them if they know any one they can hook you up with ... worth a try

ps. if your in real desperate of money, you could always work at your local supermarket or food stores for some extra cash user added image

only smart way to be an artist is as others explained. Get a regular job that pays you and has decent hours until you find 3D work. It takes more effort and drive and you get stuck with crappy jobs, but it keeps you fed.

just a quick notice from my side.

it took me about 1.5 years to get from regular jobs to 3D work only paying my bills. we don´t have that much options in austria here as well, but the good thing is. there are allways way too less good people out there. so if you become good at what you are doing you will be the one who can choose from job offers.

oh and btw, I came across turbo squid once too. I failed on the burocratic starting hurdles as well. try and get into a company in your country. even if that means you have to move in another city. I moved 2 times myself for a job. it payd off and I learn alot. (ah well and did I mention I earn real small money in my first 2 years? it wasn´t often enough to by food and pay my flat.) but that´s how it goes in the beginning. only the strong will survive!! and those who can live from little kebaps each day user added image

everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.
