Profession: Graphics Artist |
| What is your general satisfaction level?: | 8 (on a scale of 1 to 10) |
|
Did this profession meet your expectations: | Yes |
| If you could "do it all over again", would you have chosen this profession?: | Yes |
| Any Pros: | Unlimited use of creativity and self-expression, albeit guided by the client. There's no greater reward than seeing one's art printed in a magazine, flying on the tail of a plane, or displayed on a billboard. |
| Any Cons: | Depending upon where you live, this occupation doesn't pay very well. Most of the people drawn to this work are a little eccentric, so you need to be able to handle a variety of people at all levels. It's also a very demanding job with high stress as each client waits until tomorrow to place an order, then expects delivery of the finished product yesterday. |
| Any Advice: | #1) Make the most of your education. #2) Try working for a smaller advertising or graphics studio where you'll have greater creative freedom and diversity. |
