A local web design company took me in for a temporary 1-month position. If I do well enough, they'll be keeping me. Minimum wage, few hours, but it's a start. Should be enough for me to pay for my accommodation. :>

I hope you get the job for good. But even if they don't keep you after your first month is up, at least you will have some experience to put on your job resume.

Tito: MVC is a design pattern, but I wasn't referring to that directly. Yes, ASP.NET MVC is one framework that follows the pattern, but other frameworks include Ruby on Rails (ruby), Zend, CakePHP, (php), spring (java), etc etc.
For a site in ASP I'd use ASP MVC as it is the best MVC framework I've used. For PHP I was using CakePHP for a while but it has a few painful areas so I've switched to one called Kohana which I've found to be better.
Basically in terms of web coding, if you're not using MVC, you're doing it completely wrong. (And yes, this means that TWHL is completely wrong.)

May I say congratulations one web designer to another.
I've been doing professional design integration for 2 months now. The pay leaves much to be desired, but I'm still on starting wage for the time being. Should be going up soon though.
It is a lot of fun, which is a blessing when it comes to jobs. Of course you get the odd awkward client now and again.
Make sure you learn yourself some MVC :>
Unless you're not doing any code (learn it anyway!).
@ Penguinboy: Are you referring to this?: http://www.asp.net/mvc/

Pengy: Will probably have to look into it sooner or later if I stay there after the probation period. They mostly use ASP there.
