That was the title of a book I read once, while working towards a programming degree, and working full time as a manager of a retail flooring store. Needless to say, I hated my job. While doing the programming thing I got into designing user interfaces for the programs that I and my lab partners were creating. I was hooked. I changed my major, started taking design classes. I left the flooring business, and with my wifes support, 5 years later I have the job most people would love to have. I currently work from home (I walk 10 steps to my office from my bedroom) and get paid very well for my design services. I also do some programming, as I do enjoy that as well, but graphic design is what I enjoy the most.

March 16th, 2006I do contract work for a large web hosting company in Southern California, and often do miscellaneous small jobs that interest me.
I have often run into prospective clients who, upon recieving a bid from me for design or development services, say something to the effect “Well my neighbors cousins sons girlfriends brother says they can do it for cheaper, they have [insert name of any WYSIWYG Editor/ Graphics program] and know Photoshop”. I try and contain my need to laugh, and thank them and I go on my way. Does this mean if I buy a bunch of Craftsmen mechanics tools, I can call myself a mechanic.
I think not. Read the rest of this entry »
