If you’re not careful, the joy of getting paid to pursue your passion can be tainted by the less joyous realities of the professional world.
You see, no matter how skilled you are as a designer, unless you are equally prepared in professional matters, your prospects will be limited and your circumstances compromised. This is true whether you work freelance, for an agency or in-house with a company.
