Thank you to everyone who voted about my future! It looks like most of you agree that I should go back to some form of school and get some form of graphic design education. I'm pondering this very seriously, but taking in many very difficult variables:
A) FINANCES!
B) Location
C) Potential career track damages (if I get off the train, will it be hard to get back on?)
D) What type of degree to get (associates, masters, certification or — God, I hope not — another B.A. or B.F.A)
I think doing it could really broaden my horizons and make me as versatile as I could hope to be. I would have training in writing, editing, designing, printing processes, typography — pretty much all of my interests. Plus, I'd make a lot more money.
So we'll see. This could be wayyyy off in the distant future or maybe next fall, for all I know. In the meantime, I'm teaching myself at home, doing the chapters in my Photoshop book and teaching myself parts of Illustrator. I'm beginning to understand the printing process a lot better, but much of it is still a mystery to me.
In other news, I'm going to Florida at the end of next week and I haven't flown in two years, so I'm freaking myself out about what to pack, how to avoid provoking the ire of security guards and how to keep my hard-earned $15 and not check my bag. Any advice, oh frequent fliers? I could use it.
