I'm about to sign up for a course in web design/dev, at the end of which I'll get a CIW qualification and a job.
It occured to me that, although I know much about web design, I know little of what a career doing it for a company would actually be like.
Is it likely to be creative meetings, collaborations with graphic designers and a chance to get artistic or is it a lot of sitting at computers typing the same old code? No doubt it's a good helping of both but obviously I'm hoping for plenty of job satisfaction.
How stimulating does the community here find it as a career? What are your favourite parts? What are your least favourite parts? I imagine it'd be a lot of fun, but the logical side of my brain is requesting some down to earth reasoning on the matter

I get a kick out of seeing something work. It's like being able to conjure-up a magic spell. All that power!!! I like most of the work. What I don't like is dealing with clients' whims and Explorer's foibles.
But not for much longer...

I am planning on a career in game design/programming and web design/programming. I would love to have a job where I can start as a web designer, but with no experience. I am right now taking courses to be a web designer. I know HTML, XHTML (forgot it XML is the same as XHTML or if they are different), and Cascading Style Sheets. I am learning about the element and the pseudo classes as well. Getting a job as a web designer with no experience would help me tremendously in getting a much better job in the future. Where can I look for a job like that?? If you like to email me, my email address is vietasianfox45@gmail.com.
