What is it like working as a Graphic Designer?
July 2015
Do the work.
Graphic Designer:
Design is work. Graphic design and the creative, applied arts can look simple and easy—glamorous, all fun and games—but it requires discipline and study like any other line of work. Embrace failure, keep at it, keep learning and keep doing.
July 2015
Graphic Designer:
Pros: The office environment is generally very pleasant, and you have the opportunity to learn directly from superiors.
Cons: Very little space to climb a corporate ladder. Often working overtime with no extra pay. Otten creativity is hampered by client input.

Industry Experience.
Graphic Designer:
Getting a degree looks great on paper but if you don't have hands on experience getting work when you leave university is very hard and you have to start from bottom and work your way up!

Flexibility, Creative Control.
Graphic Designer:
Pros: As the sole graphic designer, I often am developing ideas, logos, and layouts from scratch, and I enjoy having creative control over projects, as well as setting the standards moving forward. I also have a flex schedule so I can work when I'm most productive and creative.
Cons: Working in a vacuum can be difficult, and I don't have other creatives around to challenge, inspire, and teach me new things. Conversely, I don't have anyone to challenge, inspire, or teach.
