I check this topic from time to time... but i nvr found any1 who work as Graphic designer, or architects, or interior Designer. Are they earning penny or they are all too hell bz to check on forum like this (i assume the later)
I'm Interior Designer with nearly 2 years experience.. Currently salary round 2.8k... nvr enough. 1k spend on car loan , fuel , parking, toll, wash n service. nearly 0.5k for room rent, facilities etc. The rest r food and some simple shopping. rm 0 saving.
Work like shit.. No time to think and try out different things. just work n work.. no newspaper time. no tv. no weekend.. no social....just work.
Not going to carry on this kind of life. mayb i just not suitable in this field. perhaps is time to change. Might just quit my current job soon (although is good learning company and quite high pay) and concentrate on doing some 3d freelances.... targeting rm 6k-10k a month. Tats my goal. am getting a house for family n tats the minumun i hv to earn. The risks r.... no stable monthly salary n could really affect my future dramatically.
But i think this way, i get to explore MORE than i could than working for ppl. Lets say i wanna venture into smthing else that might bring profit.. I can do it by adjusting my own time...and doing research that i know it will bring benefit for myself.
Im a bit worry bout my decision...it can be VERY BAD or it can be VERY GOOD.. I hope there r ppl here who perhaps in d same field who can advice me on this?
