I started out in interactive, did print, did interactive again, then both at the same place, and then went to get my MFA so that I can eventually teach. When I got my MFA I did photography, and taught design and interactive. Now I do advertising/new media, and shoot photos as much as I can. Along the way I have learned to do a LOT of things, and learned how they all inter-relate, which is very useful and effective. Being creative is great, and I love it, but I know that my interests will change with time.
Eventually, I want to go teach at the college level and work on my photography and read a lot. I also have the immense desire to go and learn to weld, do auto body & paint, build engines and then work on my own hot rods. Making an engine run is a little bit more fun and dangerous than going on press checks and debugging action scripts.

Not to necessarily make more money, but to be able to be increasingly picky about the quality (intelligence) of the clients you work with, and turn down the rest.

I am going to have to suplement, i.e. work for a bit and save
I already work for myself, so I am the CEO, COO, CD, D, P, and S.
I may switch carreers this year to make better money. We shall see. Anyway, long term goal is to own my own design company (everybody has this dream right?) and/or martial arts studio. I dont care as much about the design career as I do about the martial arts stuff.
My long term goal is to be happy.
