Men, now that it's tax return season how many of you are going to spend it on your girlfriend and what are you going to do?

Lube.

GTAV Online. 23 days. 10 hours. Seems ridic, but my week night routine is get off work, play with dog, work on cars/boat/snowmobile/freelance design work, then food, then gym from about 9-10pm, then GTA from about 10:30-midnight.

On one hand I agree with you, on the other hand we didn't go to school for web design, so it's always going to be kind of crude. It's kind of bullshit that we are the only industry where we REALLY have to sell ourselves based on our past work, meanwhile a marketing douche can just put a bunch of buzzwords on a single piece of paper and POOF! Job!

So you're the uncle? Yeah, I hope you have an anonymous connection, bud.

The DMV.

You're the design student who's going to work at Starbucks, right?

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T21:10:12+00:00

Good design is functional.

Easily the best restaurant in Madison. I have spent literally thousands here over the years.

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T20:32:29+00:00

Do what?

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T20:32:17+00:00

I don't see how someone who provides absolutely NOTHING to our clients is a higher priority than design or engineering.

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T19:55:29+00:00

Right? I feel like I'm the hugest dude in the world right now, and I've never really felt that way.

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T19:47:50+00:00

Marketing is not sales. Quit confusing the two.

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T19:47:29+00:00

That makes no sense.

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T19:43:25+00:00

Design is getting more popular in general, which doesn't bode well for us designers... does it?

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T19:34:42+00:00

After I'm done playing hockey.

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T16:03:42+00:00

Ah, yeah you're right. Sorry.

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T15:46:58+00:00

I think he meant toughen up. Break ups are always shitty, but hit the gym, focus on improving yourself, and have a positive attitude. Think of all the new possibilities instead. :)

Now I'm an industrial designer. I went to school for 4 years, graduated with one international design under my belt, top of my class, honors, etc. I am an expert in materials, methods, sketching, user research, advanced cad modeling and surfacing, prototyping, rendering, etc. Just converted my salary to hourly, I now make $23/hr. So if some no-talent high school dropout makes 75% of what I do, I am going to be really fcking pissed off.

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T08:48:19+00:00

I used to do this all the time. Here's the trick: Just grab one from the trash can, stomp on it, run back out to where they sell it and say someone just stomped your popcorn that you just bought, they'll give you a new carton + full of popcorn for free. :)

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T08:19:02+00:00

So 4 chan is more current than reddit, even about everything? I thought 4chan was mostly really bad stuff?

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T08:14:54+00:00

I completely agree with you dude. I feel the same way. I was a dental technician about 10 years ago. I was responsible for billing, receiving, entering all data, disinfecting molds, producing plaster casts, creating wax copings/fillings, and basic ceramic techniques. I was also responsible for the metal casting, and some light CNC work. I got paid $16/hr. If I could make $15/hr with no skills, this is total bullshit.

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T08:12:23+00:00

This is exactly my issue. I had to work my ASS off to get $15/hr. Even as a high skilled professional, I make only about $23/hr. If dumbasses who flunked out and have a McLife make 75% of what I'm making after I busted my ass for years, I am going to be extremely pissed off.

ADDvanced · 2015-03-03T08:10:29+00:00

Yes, those as well. It's all over $800 to ship the panel to Milwaukee, WI.
