My job as a graphic designer was mostly selling other people’s overpriced crap. No, it wasn’t important, but I did enjoy doing it, and I was occasionally proud of what I produced. But, the end purpose for my product was nothing to be proud of.

I had talent and I made a living with it. There are much worse ways to make a living. Fortunately, I retired before AI slop took over. I can only imagine what the job is like now.
