Change

The industry I work in as a freelancer (design) is changing so fast due to tech advances that after 15 years doing it at a high level, I am exhausted at trying to keep up. It moves SO fast that I don't understand how anyone stays up to speed with that amount of data.

I always thought, once I was skilled up, that whatever job I committed my career to it would take me to my old grey years. But if now seems, in my early 40s, that I need to change careers in order to find any sort of security long-term.

Do any of you feel this way?

I resent the idea that I need to have multiple careers running at once just to secure my families future

  • There's also the Affinity packages, Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher - all excellent in their own way, and have a perpetual one-time licence (so not a subscription like Adobe now extracts from it's once-loyal customers). Plus, they're made in the UK - Nottingham, I believe.

    They're not free like the FOSS examples mentioned by Peter, but they're a lot more... polished.
