i was waiting for my dear friend wesley to blog, but to no avail.  she is far stronger willed than i!  :)   so here goes!  i don’t know if i do this more than others, but i am (once again) re-evaluating my career.  it seems this happens every 2 years now.  maybe it is because as i get older it feels like doors are shutting or i am somehow pretty invested in this path and maybe regretting it?  who knows.

between design and businessas a designer, i have decided that i am sitting smack dab in the middle between art and business.  nothing new – it used to be between art and engineering.  however, in my old age i have realized that the real power to control the destiny of great design is in business.

i have a theory that great designers are either on the super artsy side or the business side, but in the middle is never any good for making huge, game-altering changes.  the middle is the place of compromise and mediocrity.  so the time comes in my life where i believe i need to decide – do i get my MBA or my MFA?  which way should i swing?
