The Problem with Interns

Quick note...

Having just come across this article: here

I feel that there are an array of very valid points raised, not all of them generating a positive feeling about my near future I must say.

In my opinion, I think this course tackles a lot of the surrounding areas of learning 'practical skills' ...or more specifically the nuts and bolts of seeing a design project through from beginning to end. This includes (from where I'm sitting at least) the liaising with printers and overall project managing etc.

The main thing it has made me question, albeit a bit late in the day perhaps, is should I start my own design studio up as opposed to working for someone else.

Up until now I have dismissed this completely, and by no means am I in favour of it now... just a thought really and something that may need addressing very promptly if it comes to fruition.
