    It really depends on how much you want to put into it 0:13
    and what you want to call good. 0:16
    I think to be employable, 0:19
    you should probably at least educate yourself 0:22
    for a couple years, 0:25
    but if you're coming from another field, like printmaking, 0:28
    the transition might be a little bit easier. 0:31

    It's such an abstract, kind of subjective question. 0:36
    I think assuming you're good at something 0:40
    is a dangerous place to put yourself in. 0:43
    There's always going to be a designer who is better than you, 0:47
    an artist who is better, 0:51
    so I think kind of just always pushing yourself 0:54
    to get better-- 0:57
    I don't really think that there's a point in your career where you're good at something. 1:00
    [answer by Amit Bijlani] 1:03
    There have been a lot of projects. 1:05
    It's hard to kind of pinpoint one. 1:07
    I think every task that you come across 1:10
    has its sets of challenges 1:13
    that you have to overcome, 1:15
    and if you are not actually working on projects that are challenging enough, 1:17
    then I definitely recommend you take on projects that are challenging 1:20
    and push your limits and want to take you to that next level 1:24
    in your career, where you're not just doing things 1:27
    for getting by or just for the satisfaction of it; 1:31
    you're doing it so that you are pushing your limits 1:35
    and testing your boundaries 1:38
    and learning that stuff that you didn't know before. 1:40

    514 days--that's it. 1:45
    You're done. You're set. 1:47
    No, I don't really know. 1:49
    I feel like I hope I never 1:51
    get to the point where I'm like, I am good at web design and done. 1:54
    For me, it's about learning and always improving my skills, 1:58
    and I'm definitely not at the point where I think I'm really good at anything. 2:02
    I'm good at some things, obviously, but I always strive to be better, 2:06
    so I don't really know when that date is that you're done. 2:10
    I suppose, when you're done, you're ready to retire, I guess, 2:13
    because if there's nothing else to learn, then why bother? 2:17
