I gotta hope that in the long run, those of us with experience... and those wet-behind -the-ear design grads who WANT to learn the ropes will always win out in the end. It may be along time to the end, but we will. And no career is perfect. Since everyone has a computer, they think they "know it all". My husband works overnights for a computer help desk and he gets call after call from these "but I have a computer, I know what I'm doing!" people who have screwed up the corporate-required settings on their computer so bad the computer needs to actually be sent in, across country, to have the settings re-installed. And of course it's my husband's fault because he cant "just fix it". I will only share one story... There was one sales rep who c alled and couldn't figure out why his broadband was SOOO slow. My husband spent quite a while trying to troubl e shoot over the phone. A ways into the call, my husband hears the tell-tale sound of porn music. The caller did manage to figure out himself downloading porn was the reason for the sluggish conection. That was kind of off-topic, but no career is perfect. We all need to find our passion--me, I'm pretty good at general design and concepting, but man, I kick-booty at the organization required for publication design and that is what I've found a career in. Not sure if my two cents help or not, but there they are! Wow, this is more like "Lean from the experts--our stories"...
