For people that have been designers for 8+ years, what are you career goals now? I need someone to tell me what mine should be...
for me the older I get (as a mother and wife), the lower the goals but stop until the middle of my career, not back to the beginning of course. However, I have a minimum standard of income. I have another focus too, which says religious (didn't mean I'm a pious person)
I like this way of looking ahead x.com/QuinnyPig/status… this thread is gold

Have a ten year plan for your career. It'll be laughably inaccurate: according to my old one, in the next ~2 years I should be a COO / VP type at a Fortune 500, or close to it.
I am not that–but the plan kept me moving, and that uncovered new directions that led me here instead.
