problem it gets better, but your expectations groe much more exponentially.
ive been a designer for 5 years, and im more disapointed than when I started, even with good money and great clients.
imagine design as a pyrimid, the higher you rise the less jobs there are for you to swap into.
my advice. Make sure your in a dicipline you love. There isnt a day I dont regret spending more time on motion graphics.

It's gotta being sausage duty save.
I turned up to a nursing lecture on my first day of uni and didn't realise for about an hour (it was being held outside, I was a long way from the front and couldn't hear a thing!)
I'm constantly surprised I managed to find my way to the UK from Aus!

That was meant to say "It's gotta beat sausage duty"

that's very good advice kk, when I was studying I really wanted to do cinematography but the dept of my uni that offered it only let media students in and I was a lowly photography/design student.
I so wish I'd fought for it a bit harder!

feels like that alot lately..
hopefully someday I'll be designing sites for movies and bands where creativity is appreciated.. Corporate design is no fun

the only advice that no one gave me was that once you start down a path, the further you go down it, it is harder to change from that path.
start with something you think you will still enjoy in 5-7 years.

and then what do you do after 5-7 years kk?

Yup I love motion graphics, always enojed multimedia class in college. Im doing mostly print at the mo.
Got a call from my client, he wants his site up pronto after talking to a programmer last week. Now Im gonna do it tomorrow after work. They are the best clients, never haggle over money, always pay when I ask and they need everything redesigned.
I wanna do more work like this in work.

hey it must be the same one that transports brits to the northern suburbs of Perth!
(When I was growing up my dad was from kent, neighbours on one side from Liverpool and on the other side from Manchester)
- rasko40

heheh I love stereotypes ;)

Yeah, we found it and closed it after recieving disgruntled letters from lost Brits stuck in some god forsaken dust bowl at the arse end of nowhere!
