Things this teaches you: 1. About being a responsible designer. It's about more than just the actual design, it's about the process and who you are and what you do and who your clients are as a designer. Which means... 2. It's not about making money. I'm not saying being a good designer altruistic in nature all of the time, but being a good designer, a responsible designer, should have nothing to do with the money. 3. That's easy to say when your clients are Verizon or Mastercard or DC or MIT, etc. You don't have to worry about money with clients like that (which, understandably, is due to the reputation set forth by Pentagram. But it's unfair to say there aren't equally good designers out in the world who also make that kind of money.)
