I was cruising digg today and catching up on some posts about “What I hate about becoming a designer”. It had some statements that made me laugh, made me question the writers sanity, and also, made me blog about my own experiences…
A part of the post I liked was,

So to testify to this, here is my then/now’s of being a designer.
Going to get pizza
Then – ooo pizza! I cant wait to pig out!
Now – observing posters, puzzled at why they took a pixelated photo and manipulated it three times. Bad cropping.
At parties
Then – I cant wait to hang with my friends and meet the ladies!
Now – Its not a LAN party? pass. I got better things to do like blog.
Free time
Then – Watch a movie, lounge around, play games, take a nap
Now – Watch a movie, lounge around, play games, take a nap
(Some things don’t change!)
Websites
Then – Look at all these cool websites! I wish I had a cool site
Now – I have …. six websites, all of which I maintain constantly…
In short, I love being a designer… I can’t imagine going to someone else with a website issue or a design request. I find “teh interwebz” so interesting and vital, that I couldn’t think of a better career to be honest… All of these side hobbies I have are a blast, but its all about doing what you love… And I love being a designer.
