GIGO - yes, garbage in creates garbage out, but I have seen more garbage come out of very talented graphic designers who never got to expand on their best ideas - due to clients opinions and decisions.

The idea that we have to work long hours, because the world will burn otherwise. This applies especially to the young designers. You do not have to pay your dues by forfeiting weekends and relationships. There is no such thing as a graphic design emergency.
I recently decided to close for business abruptly at 6 pm every day. It's changed my life. I get more excited to come back to work the next day, because I go home and have a life. Clients who call or email at night/on weekends get ignored until the next business day.

- As long as there is an over supply of designers, employers will exploit this with long hoursChimp

Being able to work in jeans and showing up at 10:30 is way better than having to wear a suit every single day and getting in at 8:30.
Plus, all the cool things at the office like foosball, ping pong, video games, and music totally make the 90,000 salary worth it. Much better than being a boring suit who makes 10x that.
