I graduated almost 2 years ago now and got great freelance work, turned down a few full-time positions because the freelance was just better. It just recently started to slow down so I took a full-time position.
If your not lazy you will be fine. And agencies in Chicago are not hiring so good luck with that.

there been massive laid-offs, not cause any of them was lazy. and no one is really hiring. so i don't see how any of them can be fine. sure some get unemployment checks. still.
by the way, i had a full-time position. there is no security. they can laid you off anytime and give any excuse. back to square one.

I feel like Design has definitely shifted from trying to find ground breaking studios and a creativity outlet to, let's just be able to make some money and survive. It's terrible for those who have families and mortgages to take care of... The reality in my opinion is if you have a design job you're fortunate. And if you hate your design job thats sad, but understandable. There's a lot of talent out there w/o work... Hopefully after everything goes to total shit, we will at least be left with a more appreciative perspective. But I doubt it. A lot I my friends are trying and exploring new interests, there's nothing to do but hang in there.
