I am a college student and I am in my last year before i get a computer animation degree. I want to get a job doing some kind of animation when i graduate.
However when i look at the work here, everything ive ever done looks like complete crap and i don't think i even stand a chance at all. If just one person on this site applied other than me applied for a job, they would get it over me because my stuff looks bad compared to what you can do.
Here is my portfolio site:

First off here is some stuff about my work just so you know where I am. I am stuck in a bad posistion and i need to find a way out of where I am.
I need a job somewhere. I still have one more semester of college to pay for, so all my money has to go to that. After that, i need to get a new computer so I can work on things. I am still stuck on a old 32 bit windows XP computer that can barely even run 3dsmax. It can barley render on Mental Ray, and wont even run VRay.
I want to get a job doing arch viz stuff, but from what ive seen here, I stand no chance and ill just be laughed at if i even try applying. I can't get any better unless i have a newer computer, but i cant get the money for a newer computer unless i get a job. What advice do you have for me so that I can get a job once I graduate from my university?
I at least want to try and get a job doing something relating to animation once i graduate. Even if its not in archviz, id be fine with an internship somewhere, so I at least can have a job. Then once i have a job, I can get a better computer and start on nicer looking archviz stuff.
For the meantime. are there even any exisiting tutoirals on MENTAL RAY archviz stuff? Everywhere i look its always Vray this or Vray that. Don't get me wrong, I like Vray, and I have used it before at an internship. I just don't have a computer that can run it.
