Dear CareerBabe:

I recently read about a woman who worked on the Virtual Galapagos tour and I thought how much I'd love to do something like that. I'm interested in making documentaries or educational programs for the web, traveling... My first step is just finding out how to start a career in web design work. I have a background in computers and painting and am familiar with some of the computer graphics programs like Adobe and Avid etc... What would be your advice into getting into this field and having a dream job like that woman had.

Dear Clueless:
