Would Life Be Easier if You Weren’t A Designer? :: Positive Space Blog

» Would Life Be Easier if You Weren’t A Designer? :: Positive Space Blog: "At one point I had an entrepreneurship professor ask me why I would ever want to be a designer. His rationale was that at any moment in my career I could be replaced by a kid that knew Photoshop or inDesign better than me for half the price. His statement at the time really got to me and almost led to me pursuing a career in sales. It took me some time to see the flaw in his argument and realize that he had no idea about what being a designer really meant, even though he employed a number of them himself. This event and the following concerns had me really pondering if a career in design was right for me"
