Difficult and frightening.

My best friend gave me this book, How To Be A Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul, by Adrian Shaughnessy, and reading it has made me... unsettled, I guess you could say. I've never been over-confident about whether I'd get a job in design once school was out. I thought that perhaps I wouldn't knock it out of the park on the first go, but that I would end up somewhere cool... after a while, at least.

But in this book, I wind up just reading over and over again that the design field is just super-crowded and competitive and that it's incredibly difficult just to get an interview with studios. It's not helping me out, really.
