cb designers future plans, discussion Options

let's talk about your past and future with graphic design.

what made you initially get into design? for those of you are pretty heavily into designing now, where do you plan to go with it? do you plan to pursue it in college(if you aren't already) or are you planning on doing something else? if you're planning on doing something else professionally, do you think you'll still continue to do design in the future anyway?

What really sucked me into graphic design was when I become apart of the yearbook staff in my junior year of high school. We had to use InDesign for the templates/yearbook pages and Photoshop for photo editing. But before that I already had an account here on cB. I used it mainly for layouts and some graphics but never submitted anything. Anyways I took advantage that we had Photoshop at school so during my free time in yearbook class, I'd go on cB and look at the tutorials. I remember my best friend and I tried doing this tutorial but got stuck on the animation and saving part. But we eventually got it. Then I learned about cracks and torrents so I got Photoshop at home. That's when I started making my tutorials and graphics. Graphic design has never been a big thing for me because I'm not nearly as talented as some of you here so it's just a hobby for me. I love making things in my spare time. I don't think I ever abandon graphic design because it's taught me so many things and it's something I like to do.
