I need to find regular work, and justify the CS and graphic design degrees I now have to pay off.

I'm currently working on rebuilding my personal site, hosting my portfolio (currently split between Behance.net and Linkedin) and resume, dusting off various aborted projects and hosting them on my site as resume filler, and trying my best to make a four year gap in employment while I was going to school and only taking short-term and freelance projects not look radioactive.

I'm not planning on learning any new tech, but I need to brush up on my art and writing skills, and actually finish a game project that isn't terrible, so i'm planning on doing the 1 game a month challenge just to prod myself. I might wind up trying and giving up on Clojure again.

Pretty sure finishing school is not considered a gap of employment. Also, Could put Self Employed/Finished Degree then list the 4 years and list the projects as bullets underneath. Similar to what I did.
Yeah, i'm probably unnecessarily paranoid about it but it does still bother me.
