Wow good input dan...lots of food for thought.
I suppose I should say that although I'm graduating from a graphic design course, for the past two years of it I have specialised in film, as well as worked on a lot of self-initiated conceptual projects, and collaborative efforts with fine artists, architects and performance designers. I'm not really looking for a job in the industry purely as a graphic designer but as more of an all-round swiss army knife of ideas, strategy, PR, documentary-film and design and yes that definitely narrows my options of employment because I wouldn't have specialised in anything but it's also strangely flexible as I could apply different skills to each project as it came.
I don't have a dream job and I'm not interested in being commercially successful or making tons of money (being able to pay rent would be good though), I just want to be a part of some genuinely interesting and innovative projects, which is the Goggin route I guess, so I'll either get lucky and some people will pay me for the privilege or I'll end up completely broke and begging a design studio to take me in age 30.
but WAIT I don't even know if I've got into RCA yet so all this talk is possibly for naught!
