I got "totally safe."

As expected.

People may, unfortunately, be becoming increasingly mistrustful of police, but they'd be even more wary of a legion of armed automatons enforcing their "good" behaviour.  :P

My job is "totally safe", and if that changes then there are plenty of other things I could do.

Totally safe.  Since I'm one of the people inventing the automation.

Also Boogie, pretty sure Google can make a robot that wears puffy pants and makes huge over time by standing with in 20 meters of the prime minister.

I haven't made "huge" overtime since 2013.  :(

Also, if you're one of the ones inventing the automation, can we stem the tide by kidnapping you and holding you hostage in my garage indefinitely?  Or is there too much redundancy built in for that to have an effect?

I'm in the clear.
Oh don't worry, graphic designers will continue to be underpaid and underappreciated for many years to come.

True. :fbm

But if working at an agency has taught me anything it's that designers can make a lot more if they're willing to learn about business, marketing, & sales.

Didn't know it was underpaid, but should have assumed so. You mean a person taking care if others, right?

Isn't every job in the US underpaid?

For sure. That is part of the reason why I burned out.

Most of the people I worked with had bachelor degrees in Marketing or Business Communication. I was one of the only weirdos with a graphic design and illustration background. IDK if that is the norm everywhere but I eventually figured out that wasn't the job for me.
