Thanks ,

I always enjoyed designing, and would still like to.

Fact is I dropped the ball on my marketing, let myself drift off into obscurity and basically did everything wrong I could business wise, as It was easy money the first couple years.... and then dropped off drastically in the last couple.

of course, this all started in my early 20's and I pissed away and partied away alot of money like a fucking moron... and landed myself somewhere I couldn't recover from.

Hind sight is 20/20.

I'd rather be shot in the face than work a real job, but kids gotta eat, and design wasn't doing it anymore.. I couldn't or refused to beat or match the rates design has been beat down to, and I can't justify spending a week designing a site for $300, and then 3 weeks to chase my balance, etc etc....

I honestly pity designers trying to make $$ in todays market, it's gotta be tough.... no matter how "ballin'" these guys might sound when they spam design threads, they've gotta be hurting.
