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?

I got started doing myspace layouts, very simple stuff, using generators, and the what not. I found out that you could actually do your own layouts after reading a bit about CSS. So I learned to dissect code from a generator, changing properties, etc. I learned DIVS pretty much alone, at the time, there was no decent DIV tutorial for myspace websites. So it was pretty much what you had to do. I stopped designing due to lack of inspiration, and helped people code, that's when I was starting to be pretty active in the resource center/myspace help. I just started about a year ago, actually hard core designing/redesigning websites. I've enrolled in 12 community college credits for design related classes. Mostly beginner stuff, since they don't care that you taught yourself, it has to be on transcripts to skip the class. I'll probably get my associates in interactive design, and my bachelor's in biology, or related science. I'll probably make it a full-time thing until I get an internship for the science field. And afterwords a hobby.
