As would I -- design. But I would do a whole lot more. And the "whole lot more" escapes me...
Perhaps one thing I would do differently in the design arena...I would have not taken any in-house positions. It took me out of the loop. I was very popular and extremely busy for years. Then I got dumb and took an in-house position in 2004. It never stuck and when I find myself freelancing again I tend to be chasing my tail. I end up working for other design companies for peanuts (which I do a lot of now) and the end result is I cannot even show my wares in my personal portfolio. So the other design guys get the benefit of attracting more and new business using my work to do so. Aggravating. Sure, after a period of struggle I end up making the kind of money I am more accustomed to but the interim tests me.
