  wow a thread that actually address some real-world design industry issues! I think business/economics should be taught at design school. We were lucky and we had a short module about how to run your own small studio/manage jobs/markup work and printing for a profit etc.

  If we admit that design is essentially a commercial practice then we should all be much more aware of the business side of things. All the threads on here about people not getting paid on time, or having clients drop out could be attributed to designers not having the business knowledge to draw up the right contracts, manage time well, to draw a line between the business and creative sides of the job.
