Nice title I wish I had written it but alas I did not... Jimmy Atkinson from the
OEDb that's "Online Education Database" sent me an email today with the link to the well written article by Bradley Schenck on this topic... Bradley as you may now was the Designer for "The Labryinth" and also former Art Director for the Dreamers Guild...
The conclusion of the article is something I knew from being a musician for so many years and working in the graphics industry for so long... "There is Stress" that goes a long with these jobs and usually there is no way around it, if you can get in touch with people in the industry and see what they have to say first hand...

Here's the link to the entire article, enjoy...
