I have a question for those that do this (graphic design of any sort) for a living, especially if you've gotten schooling in this field.
Do you feel there is a distinct difference between how you approach your art while in school and how you approach it at work?

In school (this includes your own personal journey for those that are "self-taught") you are encouraged to follow your own path and to indulge in various approaches to a piece. Yet at work (your career) you have to produce (very methodically and efficiently) some one else's ideas. In pursut of your career, and your desire to succeed in your field, your personal work is put aside.
*"There's no room for it"
"There's no time for it"
"There's no requests for it"
"There's no money in it"

My question is "Why do you still do it"??
