Unmarried with a girlfriend of 4 years, living in sunny Brisbane, Australia. 2 weeks ago I resigned from a small to medium tier digital agency where I have worked for the last 5 years first as a junior design and ultimately as the creative director. Moving to a big national agency group with a local branch of around 60 staff to head up the digital creative team, exciting times ahead in my career!Partying too much, drinking too much, spending too much, but living my life generally the way I want to. Probably time to grow up a little, and take care myself a bit better :)

Working for a small agency in Sydney.Still partying, drinking, spending exactly the same as I did in my 20s, however now starting to question what I'm doing. Spent last week designing collateral to sell a clothes line for a client who needs 500x edits before they are finally happy... so now starting to think about what else I can do, while still managing to pay my mortgage.

i spent most of my 20s fucking around, mostly unemployed, going to grad school, moving between coasts four or five times while most of my friends slaved away in jobs they hated. i got my first "real" job as a production designer 2.5 years ago and am now art director.
so i guess things are going okay; i'm moving back to portland this month, the only town i've ever felt at home in. i've never cared about career / money / etc., so i'm more excited about starting some more art-based projects. although it's been fun sort of discovering the corporate world i turned down at 22. can't say i'll miss it, though.

I hear ya colin -- more or less the same here. I care about my career -- but not in the sense of money/promotions/etc., I just want to be happy. I'm sort of glad I fucked around the way I did, the friends that I have that didn't and jumped straight into corporate america are probably a little bit better off financially but they don't seem any happier. I guess I just feel old,

28. Have a 7 month old daughter who brought immense joy and also a sense of purpose outside of a 'career' in life. Bought a house. Working a steady in-house gig with good pay, benefits and the occasional portfolio-worthy project. I'm engaged, but not married (hello 2013). I am able to pay all of my bills. I am able to keep my family fed, clothed, and sheltered. I keep a separate refrigerator in my basement for my craft beer exploits. Life is good.
I am probably about as 'far along' as i'll ever be in this life. Everything after this I imagine is going to be purely incremental - a bigger salary, a bigger house, a nicer neighborhood, a nicer car.
Life is good.

Finishing my master's studies in a foreign country...trying to get into one company to work full-time. I interned there, and now it's all about will they call me to work or not...so far so good, I have a girlfriend for 6 years now...I work as a photographer for airbnb, so when there is a gig around, it's an easy money opportunity (which I don't pass)...just want to get a full-time job together with a work-permit, and I am all done with ambitions really...

I like long walks on the beach and staying disciplined in certain crafts to keep my mind sharp.I take on projects and do my best to apply my developed craft and knowledge to make these projects great accomplishments.
I do not have much patience for nonsense and pseudo-elitist snobbery.

I was super focused when I first moved to NYC from my small redneck town when I was 19 - landed an internship at a studio within a month or so having no formal design education. My computer died after a couple months and I was in no place financially to replace it so the internship sorta died with it. Spent the next 4 or 5 years "discovering" myself (parties, alcohol, drugs, sex). Finally started getting my shit together in 2007. Took some classes, got another internship, did some freelance. Been working in-house for a couple years now. Definitely not where I thought I'd be when I first moved here almost 10 years ago; however, I'm in a decent place now in my life and am just looking to keep pushing myself.
