To Be, or Not to Be

To be, or not to be...a graphic designer. As a graphic design student, this is a question I ask myself more and more often. I love design, but wonder if this is an industry that I actually want to enter. It's competitive, hectic, even cut-throat. It requires long hours, sleepless nights and a constant flow of creative juices. Surely there are areas of the industry not plagued by so much exhaustion and chaos. Is finding a stable 9-5 job in the creative sector just a pipe dream? I want a job with work that can be left at the office. Is that too much to ask for in our modern, workaholic society? I sincerely hope not. I want to work to live, not live to work. The term graphic design is very broad and encompasses many different areas, so hopefully over the course of this blog, I will be able to learn more about this industry, and where I might fit within it.
