Aw yea graphic design is a great course, usually lots of interesting people and it's overall just a really comfortable creative space (except for deadlines/tedious projects). Just graduated from a 3 year GD myself last April I wish it lasted longer.

This is something I used to desire, I've been once and got necessary medication to allow myself to sleep (though it fucks me up the next day with lethargy), but I know exactly what I do or do not need otherwise, except in the realm of blood pressure related meds which I haven't put my research into yet (but I have stage 1 hypertension says the last BP test I took, one of the store ones). My BPM was 80 which is pretty low for me too, most of the times I measure I'm more like 90-100 :I

okay not to derail the thread but I have to ask: do you consider yourself lucky? It's been making me seriously reconsider because not many are finding success in Graphic Design. That's just from what I've heard.

I can tell you that there's definitely an element of luck and being in the right place at the right time-ness involved. You need connections to the work, a way to bring workers to your doorstep, otherwise your skills are never utilized. Exposure and getting known and trusted/having a good name is a great start.

I haven't started really in graphic design all that much, I'm planning to try more for that in the future, but I have a positive reputation so far amongst the public which is a good start for me. If I can get 50% of those people to recommend me to someone, and 2% of those people need business, and they then tell people/etc eventually it grows lol. But if your services are not broad enough/cover a wider spectrum of trades you can do, you might not be sought out over other pre-existent businesses.
