Keep your head down, do good work, do more good work, do your own good work, and keep busy. It's a marathon, not a sprint. If you can last it out, things tend to work out. The person who said it depends on who you know is wrong — it's how easy you are to get along with, how good your work is, how little you bitch about things, how often you have results. Make your client, peers, coworkers look good, and you'll never be without work.

Regarding the slave comment above, I was going to reply in the side thing, but it doesn't allow enough words.
I have lurked on here since pretty much the beginning and rarely comment, but what I have noticed over the years is that the vast majority of you are genuinely miserable at your jobs. Raybandana wanted to know how to get better work — and in my experience there is only one way. Earn it. There always will detractors to working for something, I won't be changing your opinion, nor will you change mine in that regard. All I can do is tell Raybandana how I got to where I am. I love my job, and the majority of the work I do is pretty fun. Yes, there are other ways to get there, and I'm sure you can do it without earning it; but that is the way I did it and is the only path I know. Your mileage may vary.

Yea thanks for the words. I'm happy that I can even do graphics design and get paid for it. But I just feel there is so much crappy work and the only people I've met that do great work are freelancers. Everyone who works for agencies seems to get sucked into a big shitty void. I guess if I do more proactive work and work really hard - things might work out. I've been so jaded by being laid off over and over - and never given the chance to work on amazing things. I've done great work but not amazing work.

Sometimes agency = higher pay and shorter hours.
Life is short. If you hate going to work, that is one thing. But if you have a good job that is easy but boring and pays for a nice home and life, that is just the American dream.

Most people in the world do not like their jobs.
That's why they call it work.
