Well, being a designer has really rewarded me in more ways that I had thought. Its made me realize a whole lot of other jobs, careers and pasions and introduced me to so many smart people and interesting places in the world.
As for what is next ... not sure ... I too wonder about how we get into more senior roles.
I met a very well accomplished designer once 'Ian Kidd of Australia' and he told me about how he focussed on designing houses for a while, packages for a while, trains and airplane graphics for a while, clothing for a while and then put them all together and hired staff he met along the way. A bit full of himself I thought but it made a lot of sense.
I think though, there is something to be said about enjoying things for today ... sounds fromage I know ... but it makes sense.
Work hard
