Still I love what I do and I will continue, quality will speak for itself in the end :) I have invested a lot of time and money in to my Graphic Design degree and it annoys me very much to see some of the cowboys around here trying to do my job simply because they have purchased a bit of software and maybe a book.

It is most certainly about educating our clients. The thing about being a lawyer or an accountant is that they are well-known jobs. Design isn't nesseciarily a well-known job. When you hire an accountant to do your taxes you know what to expect. With design on the other hand clients aren't always too sure what to expect and that's where educating them comes into play. Thanks Luis!

So the idea is that we do things not really valuable like a layer, or accounting. You are right with your ideas, I think the same, we must educate our clients and show them we are professionals, tray to make valuable our profession, for us and for the other colleagues. Excellent article lady!! Is really difficult to start a business in design, because everyone thinks they can do what we do, or his son, or daughter or friend.
