Which one describes you?

College grad looking for a break...

Laid-off and seeking a way to redefine yourself...

Or looking for a way to pursue your creative passion, while keeping your uncreative day job...

For all of you, I'm sure money is one of your biggest obstacles. So what if you could get someone to fund it?

Kickstarter may be a solution.

Kickstarter is a way to pitch your project to the masses in hopes that someone will donate funds to help you develop your project – everything from music, film, design, publishing and other creative endeavors. To be featured on the Kickstarter site, your work must meet the following criteria:

• It's your creation
• It must fit in a Kickstarter category. Ex: comics, dance, technology, music etc.
• There's no charity or cause funding
• It's not a "fund my life" project (can't raise money to pay your bills)
• And the project must offer rewards, not financial incentives
• You also must be a US resident and over 18.

If your career isn't fulfilling or going as planned. Maybe it's time to take matters into your own hands.
