that's what I'd like to do really
I am quite good at designing stuff as well as engineering things so they work, so I'd actually really love to be able to do it for a living. Just need the training to be able to turn plans into reality.

Far more enjoyable than flying a desk.

Actually, this ^
I'd love to have a bit of training in creating stuff, and getting it to market. I have fab ideas for t-shirts and other bits and pieces like that.

Or graphic design. That would be fun.

That's the trouble with doing something creative.
buying art, or decorative objects, is a luxury rather than a necessity. There still seems to be money in logo design and stuff though.

the kind of shit that corporations and committees think is good :(

these days though any bugger can knock up a logo
people are so dim that they think anything looks good.

there are always people out their who will pay a premium for luxuries and one-off creative things. It's just a question of is it enough?
