I also agree - we do see and sometimes do things things differently as well.
You also need like minded people to work with.

A lot of artists and photographers I know just can't do the 9 to 5 routine, some I know would rather be broke than working full time, because the job or the travel time can destroy the creative spirit.   

For the last year I've been fortunate enough to be at university,  while that was a business course, it's been in a small environment where new ideas and creativity,  exploration and espically new ways of thinking was encouraged, as a result  I've together some great original pieces of work.

Now thats over I need a job badly. yet I've turned some down recently because the idea of commute to london every day just didn't appeal. OK it's harder to find work locally and salaries are lower, but I belive a happy movitated person is going be a more passionate and productive worker than someone who's been stuck in a cattle truck for 3 hours. 

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
