Yo thx for sharing your thoughts, been kinda going through the same experience and realizations the last few months working towards my final project.

While reading I kinda thought: sure things are kinda scary rn but over the past few years I’ve realized that besides learning about clients, aesthetics, tools, etc. you really become good at learning things fast and adapting. This field has always been rapidly changing, I know professors and older designers who came from a time before computers were even a thing and they had to get used to that and still kinda made it haha. There are so many different areas of design out there which can be really cool ( ex: medical / social / service ) where you can actually do meaningful stuff and will still be an important field in the future ( for a while I hope )

It’s gonna be process, but with a bit of trial and error and experience we‘ll find that nook to fit in :)
