I am sure others can help you more than myself and I dont know how old you are and what type of job you are looking for but if you saying you don't have a college degree or it is in something like Agriculture and you want to do 3d design work that degree is not going to help you. Put together a resume and start to think about what you have to offer to the various place you wish to work.

From his profile it says he is 17.

That being the case I would be looking for internships for the summer and not "work" unfortunately anything that would be fun for you is probably too important for a company to give it to a high school kid, especially if they can hire someone with more experience. But if you apply to some companies for internships (probably not paid) you will gain some valuable experience and a resume item. Ultimately if you really want to do 3D modeling you need to narrow your field and then find out what degrees/ certifications people working in that field have. That way you will know what to pursue.

Update!

As of this morning. I now have a job with an architecture firm in New York! Excitingly, the main bulk of the work will consist of teaching SketchUp, and with converting floorplans from AutoCAD into 3d models. I have experience teaching several classes at my high school in which we worked with both programs simultaneously, so this is right up my alley.


I'm very excited right now
