LAYOFF IS OPPORTUNITY IN DISGUISE
When Bill Pulkovski got laid off from his banking job, it gave him the time to take more classes and pursue his second career. The married father of two has been inching his way toward a degree in media & communication arts for the past six years and a career as a freelance illustrator. Both are now nearly a reality. “People ask how all this even happened,” says Pulkovski, of deals to produce Star Wars trading cards and another to illustrate graphic novel covers. “After I took Macomb’s figure illustration class, I knew I had to do it.”
