Things started to go stale at the end). But that's how things tend to go in these industries. I also have the added disadvantage of looking like some 21-22 yr old kid who just graduated, because I indeed did just graduate. There is no other job for me. The important thing here is that it took me over 8 years to finally be in a position where I'm really happy with where I work and what I do. I'd wager you might enjoy my newsletter most though. I’ve done the freelance thing, and also worked as an in-house Designer/Prepress for a local print shop, and now currently work as a Marketing Intern at the University. Not everyone is so lucky.

Freelancing is business. I still like design, though. It's called paying your dues. Bumped up to $13/hr, but for someone in their late 20's, that's not a lot to live on. Freelancing isn't about being a good designer. And what still gets you out of bed in the morning? I think if I just work hard, show people what I can do, open my mind to different possibilities as far as a career, then I'll be fine. Then reasses if you really don't want to do it. The company is really big on promoting from within and so far just from the interviews I impressed everyone with my knowledge and drive for furthering my career. I really recommend taking a whole ID education and just not CAD. That you don’t have the time. You get to transfer all of your skills (problem solving, aesthetic appreciation, the ability to work under pressure), but enjoy a new set of creative challenges. "I’ve come to the conclusion that what I enjoyed was the innovation, thinking outside the box, and fitting all the puzzle pieces together in a design.". It took some time to realize that this may be the best way to start a career. Any ideas for jobs or areas of interest that I can focus on? I think I attained enlightenment. You at the very least should have transferable skills that can be used in a different industry. I was happier in that job from that day forward because I decided to not worry and be happy.

This is something I've considered, but don't know much about. back in the MS-DOS days. Fortunately, in a stroke of luck, someone I used to work with at my first job had moved on and was a partner at a local ad agency. if you have some level of fulfillment, then the necessary crap wont feel like such a chore. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about grids and typography thanks to college. Even for just a month and take up other pursuits. I did that 8 years ago. So here’s my dilemma and a little background. I personally am looking into going back to school for CAD or something along those lines. I wanted to pursue my education further so I’m currently working on my Bachelors in Advertising and Studio Art (Double Major) to fill in the holes that my Associates left out.

As documented in Represent’s Behind the Design report, “project managers, account handlers and producers are the unsung heroes of the creative industries, working away behind the scenes making projects happen all the way from pre-pitch to post-delivery”. I'm on Twitter too. I got paid $11/hr, which is not much at all and certainly depressing considering how much shit I had to deal with at the time.
