Why did Ashley leave us?

No. Go learn to do something that someone will actually pay you to do.
GD is full of faggots who dont want to get their hands dirty.
Its like becoming an actor, sure you can do it. But good luck making enough money to support yourself.
If you have that itch to scratch you can always make making typeface your hobby.
But learn something that will put money in your bank account so you can move out.

clearly graphic design is your passion

>>271751
Pay is pretty shit. You can study design though and get a good job, it just won't be doing pure "graphic design". Do UI or UX or something related that actually pays well right now.

Either both of you are not in the industry or have no clue how to market yourselves that your your just bad at design. 22 y/o with a day rate of £180, you can make money off graphic design and have fun doing it.

OP if you love design go for it, but its not an easy ride, for a couple of periods I was working 10 - 12 hours a day 7 days a week.
You're going to have to really want it to achieve it. But like I said if you love design its worth it.

You are correct, I no longer work in GD. After 9 years, I burned out and am much happier doing what I am doing now.
Your success depends a lot on where you live and your connections.
Just because you are successful doesn't mean others will be.

You choose poorly anon.

>>271848
How do you become one?

>>271900
I love what I do anon, I've tried UI and UX and I didn't get the same satisfaction.

I get you, the money is nice, but I care about happiness and Graphic Design, specifically print is where I find it.
Also 10 - 12 hours was on crunch periods, I do work 8 hours on standard.
