no it's not.
it's rubbish.
it only helps you get laid for a while
after that you just spend weekends wondering if your slippers should match the suede accent on your prada bag.

it's an important exercise for those who have skill and talent for it....but unless you people get yr acts together and stop supporting the oppressor...than what good is it?

Ask yourself when you retire and you have no time left for all those things you wanted to do.

it pays the bills

it pays my bills, lets me travel and buy toys. So yes, it is important.

bill paying. hmmm. i could teach and that would pay the bills and would, arguably, be more important.

i would like to think design is important as outlined here:

like anything, it depends on how you view it and why you view it that way. design is all around us, take a look at Mother Nature.

It's not that important because a good product sells itself.
The design department is always the first to be cut out when a business is in a bind.

I agree of what JazX said...
- opiate0
"...and implicitly endorsing, a mental environment so saturated with commercial messages that it is changing the very way citizen-consumers speak, think, feel, respond and interact.
To some extent we are all helping draft a reductive and immeasurably harmful code of public discourse. "

Yeah, sounds like something to be proud of... but , I still like my job - for now.
