2 things: 1: save up money for vacations, and travel as far away as possible. Go to places that are utterly foreign to you. South America, Europe, asia, whatever (assuming you are in the US). Vacations to developing countries can be a lot cheaper, despite the more expensive flight, and you can find great hostels to stay at and meet people (I can't recommend it enough). 2: some type of digital design? But with coding involved? Sounds like game programming or something like that. I can help you there. PM me, I'll be happy to get you started with coding. I can point you in all the right directions, and help you get past any initial roadblocks. Hang on to your dayjob, at least until you have the job offer you really want.
