Let's me say about Graphic Design in Florida. I had been interview for graphic design about 5 times from Jan 2000 to May 2000. My mind said " do my BFA degree worth to me to get graphic design job?" or due to my deafness? I knew that mostly Floridian people dont really aware about ADA law due to no one gives a leture about ADA law in Florida, so I decided to apply at FSDB as a resident aide or Teacher aide. In few days later, I got a e mail from Karla Knight, who was superivor at Elementary School at FSDB , so I got a job for Temp job and one year later, I got perm job for four years. Later on, I quitted my job on Feb 1st.

When I got a job as a web design and photo library at www.chinaknowledge.com by interview the deaf manager named Mick Loh and recommended by Wan See, who is Web Master and web programmer. She is best friend with my wife. I got a chance to work there from Nov 7th to now. In very recently, my mind says, " it is worth to have my college degress as a graphic design and photography! and thanks to WAN SEE!!!!!
