What was the hardest lesson you’ve learned as a product designer?

I use to enjoy pulling together lessons using a variety of resources, and not using textbooks or ready made curriculum. I just used the standards. These days, I’m finding that my online students find a set curriculum easier to navigate. I’m finding it easier to keep organized online. Anyone else having a similar experience?

I am pretty sure I fell victim to a scam. I am really embarrassed that I paid money to a company thinking it was a legit deal and am now finding out it was not. I should have known better but pushed aside my instincts and my training because I was stressed about money and thought this would help. Stupid lesson to learn.

Many teachers in my district are being told things like If you dont turn in lesson plans, if your lesson plans aren right, if you do your data chart incorrectly ..... you will be terminated.

I proactively asked my manager for a review because I negotiated to have "title review" included in my contract when I got hired as they didn't want to offer Senior Motion Designer. The department head (my manager's boss) is happy with the work I delivered. How should I prepare for this title review and pay raise negotiation? Currently getting paid 88k. I am expecting 95-100k
