“And for those interested, yes I work in an office now for an established web dev company as the soul designer, and most of my work is monotonous and boring, but it pays exceptionally well and i only work 3 days a week : D”

So it is mainly down to the money then?
If you were to get the same pay in a design studio where you were sat around people who were passionate about the work and fought fort their idea and execution with the client your views could be different.
Being with like minded people helps and it sounds as if you had any passion for design at all you would get out of you uninspiring job.
If your happy with where you are I think you maybe a little resentful.
Good luck with it all, I'm gonna try and get through the door (If my head fits)

hey Dancer,
Well I never actually said I think im the only designer without an ego (involved in design).
But you make a fair point, some sort of ego and pride in your work is almost certainly required for a good designer to exist.
My level of design has certainly slipped as I don't take pride in my work anymore, I just do it to earn money. I design what I think the client wants, and if they want to fuck it up and change it all (it used to really annoy me) now I jsut get on with it. So in a way, in the corporate style of work that I am required to work in nowadays, it seems to be a bonus, certainly on my peace of mind anyway.
Thanks for your response.
It really is just my opinion though guys, and after all im just some stranger probably on the other side of the world to you.

Hench so what you are saying is that once you had an ego but now you don't. It also sounds like you seem to think that you are the only designer on this planet without an ego, which in itself is egotistical..
On a side note, I think a designer needs to be confident in his/her work or the client won't
p.s You have some nice work there Hench

Hench, your name contradicts your opinion.

when folks are pseudo-arguing and someone comes off with, "i make |this much| money," it makes me think, "fucking fucking fuck."
and that's not right. not only is it impolite, but it doesn't even make sense.
so please don't do that again.

I, too, work only 3 days a week. Unfortuantely it's spread out over 5 days.
