about once a quarter, a will call me and say something like; "hey griff, my is having a hard time figuring out what he wants to do for a living. he has his own web page and did all the graphics himself. he just finished a site for. I think he could be an awesome designer if someone just gave him a chance. Maybe you could provide him with a little career counseling."
being the kind gentle person i am, i say sure, i would love to talk to him. before the meeting i will spend a few minutes on his sites to get an idea of the talent level. the sites always suck, with gratuitous usage of
i waste time talking bout design, process, tools etc., then the big moment
arrives, guidance. the great pearl of wisdom i impart upon them could have gotten from, "a good place to start would be to ".
it is the hardest thing in the world to tell some one they and should consider another career.
