Morning Drizzle, but Clearing later| Sunset River Arabian |
| I havent gotten a job after college thats related to my degree yet. I'm still working on my portfolio so I dont really have experience in it long term |
| Vixen Creek |
| Athena it took me a few years too, I did communications technology in high school and it was my favourite class but for whatever reason I didn't consider a career in it. I went to school for esthetics, hated it, and went back to college for design. |
| Sunset River Arabian |
| Oh it took a few years. And not great ones either. I had just gone through 2 super shitty jobs and had be looking for another job for months and my buddy and a few others kept pushing me towards college and I would say no I'm not ready. I guess maybe I was afraid I wasnt ready? I dont really know. But I dont regret waiting |
| Vixen Creek |
| I finally quit my design job last week. The burnout, stress and micromanagement I had to deal with was insane, that it was starting to affect my health, but this was in the print industry doing a lot of non-design work (do not recommend LOL, my coworkers and I referred to it as "designer jail"). |
| Sunset River Arabian |
| In high school I worked at a newspaper as sort of an intern or back up to help with layout and stuff and thats how I discovered I liked it but I still waited several years before one morning I woke up and my heart was like 'this is it. college here I come' |
| Sunset River Arabian |
| Graphic design. I'm taking it accelerated and online so I'm about half done. Only a year and a half or 9.5 terms to go. |
| Sunset River Arabian |
| Zrek I love typography and layout design but it wont ruin my love of creating art so that's what my jobs and portfolio are focused towards |
| E.T. Eventing |
| Yeah. That's why I kinda determined I need to figure out the career fields that drive me in a different form. More like I enjoy doing it because it's more like learning a skill I appreciate every day directly and has a purpose, rather than just solely for $$$. Otherwise it feels like I'm just another cog doing cog things. |

| The job I have right now only needed a four year degree with no specifications |
| Stormsong Manor |
| It drained me. I don't work full time in graphic design and never have. I've done a bunch of freelance and I've done design work in other roles, but I knew when I graduated that I didn't want to pursue it full time. And I was 110% set on it being my career. |
| E.T. Eventing |
| That's the thing - I could see myself having the enjoyment drained out of it if I did it as a career in the wrong way. That's why I'm questioning what my education should be for/in. Because I still wanna at least pursue my passions on the side, but I equally don't want my base income to be something that doesn't give me some sort of drive and improvement of my personal existence. |
