I went to art college in london and stayed on for 7 years after working up from a runner in a post production house - nobody got a job above the bottom rung with a degree back then - to a graphic designer in a small production company (work was always based in soho). I lived in peckham, east dulwich in shared houses and had a 1 bed flat both for 550 a month then up to waterloo in 2 bed flat that i shared for 1000 month total. moved back to newcastle 7 years ago and earning same wage now as i earned when i left london - a pitiful 23,500 and now my rent is 450 a month for a 2 bed flat. there is no scope up here to be a freelancer and no well paid or good graphic design jobs as it's not taken as a serious proffession every client thinks they are fucking graphic designer and every employer thinks you need to not just be a designer but also a devloper which i refuse to become
