I rejected my graphic design background

Post Reply New Topic

I just realize I rejected my graphic design background, all for the unrealistic dream of being made in the entertainment biz. I realized the entertainment biz is not my forte, so I regret rejecting my other gifts.

I had this discussion with my dad before bed.

Yesterday I even said I wanted to be a TV actor someday. It must be great wanting to be an actor, but if I did, I'm not sure if I'll be doing it for reasons that would be right. I know it's usually a pretty awful job. If I made a career like that, how much success can I realistically expect?

I didn't mean to confuse anybody.

I absolutely can relate to this post. The graphics design business is an arena. The dog eat dog mentality of getting a job along with keeping it takes the imagination and the wonder of creating things. You will have to lie to get a job when a client asks you if you know how to do a certain operation. Then you are stuck learning at the edge of your seat trying to beat a deadline.


There are way to much "ifs" no solid routine and you are expendable since anyone with Photoshop and Illustrator can cleverly out do you in a minute or a day.

I went into aviation and network engineering.

this post is my life
