Where do you find clients?

You know what I used to like doing, spamming the living fuck out of eBay. You know if you are a real bad fucking gambler, you want your own fruit machine to get your fix. I look for the cunts who buy them and knock them over to my "free play" sites.
 
Lots of good life advice here for the aspiring designer. I used to teach at a state college for design. What blew my mind is that throughout the entire 4yr degree process, the 'business' class for graphic design was the very last course you took before graduating. Last! I thought it was bs not to tell incoming freshman the realities. I think it would cut the graduating class in half as they rethought their careers. That said, most graphic design students I had seemed to be pretty shitty at everything else, such as math, writing, etc. So maybe it was a good fit for them.

I'm only upset at myself for waiting about 5 yrs too long before jumping out of the game and moving on to greener pastures. As many others have said, it's a zero end game these days with logo designers a 13 per dozen and the agency route sucks balls for too many reasons to list here. Crap pay. Crap living. Crap retirement. Get used to it if you're going into graphic design.

randy and DeLaGarde summed up the career choice quite nicely.
