what sort of mix of creatives are on this site these days? What's your situation?
Student?
Full employment?
freelance?
desk renter?
company owner?I am currently renting a desk trying to deal just with my own clients. It's pretty tough going and I've not been doing it for too long. I got bored of being made redundant though and the usual studio to studio didn't quite sit right with me.
My desk is in a record label rather than someone elses studio so I get a bit of work there plus a good avenue for networking and finding interesting work.
What about you? Go on, indulge a nosey fuckwit.
