Career path

Have you ever have those moments when you feel that all those long years you used to study, but in the end when you went to work... you realised you don't want to work in that particular field? I think sooner or later, you must at least feel it once. When it becomes too pressure, when the workload is too much... When the working time doesn't suit you, when the salary is too little for all those hard work you went through.....

Well, that's life for you! Although I'm still studying, but once... when I went for practical training, I feel the 'pain' and 'suffering' of working as a Graphic Designer. The workload is not consistent... sometimes you are free to surf online, most of the time you will be busy as Hell until you have no time to breath. You need to do OT but WITHOUT extra payment. You are bugged by your customers to change and change the design layouts, until the last minute also need change!! The gaji is low, the company untung damn kao a lot from those projects... and in the end, 3/4 times a year the company will make you 'feel' better by treating the company to karaoke or play paint ball etc.

And did I mention the gaji is LOW? Work as professionals, but the gaji cannot tanding with those working in office with stable workload, no need OT and no need entertain customers. No wonder the teachers in school told us 'You want to be a good G.Designer? Go work overseas...' Now I'm really beginning to doubt if the creativity and arts I loved (which made me chose GD), will make me suffer in the end... T_T

I can see many ppl starting to blog less because of studies and work. Yup, the 'busy' season is coming... hope all of you can cope with it! ~cheers~
