So there I was, waiting for the shuttle bus to arrive....when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turned around to see this familiar looking face, asking if I was from the company. It was a guy from my company, and we've seen each other before, though we don't really know each other.
Cool idea. So he got another person who was from the company as well, and 3 late men shared a cab to the office.
Chatted with him abit on the cab. He's a contract staff as well, though much older than me. As I shared about my consideration to get a degree from laselle next year, he gave a pretty negative opinion.
Turned out that he was previously from the advertising field for 5 years, and had some experience of doing graphic design and such. Basically, he painted a picture of low starting pay and over-crowding of graphic designers locally.
Well, I already know about these issues beforehand...but hearing it from one with experience in it....I don't know man.
The thought that I've been contending with within for the past month is this: It's one thing to like and have passion for something, but quite another to be able to do well in it.
Realistic consideration, or negative, discouraging thought pattern?
I guess abit of both. Sigh...now...what?
...a year's coming to an end. But, what about the season..?
