Would you have a part on your dream project if it meant you had to do it for free? Or is income the most important part of the job now?

I have some dream projects in mind, but I can't afford to work for free. So that's the answer. I would like to be in the position where I would have that kind of flexibility and go off to work on something just for the gratification. I'm not there yet, and the reality is that I can't walk into Gelson's and spend gratification.

Yeah it’s the dream isn’t it but when you’re worrying about where the next pay check is it’s hard to focus on it.

Hmm it depends, as I’m currently a trainee right now so I could do a job for free if it’s my dream job!

I don’t feel sexy or attractive anymore. I talked to him about this and he feels bad. But I feel guilty for bringing it up. Anyone else had this issue?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
