Interesting stuff. I've been on both sides of the fence. Currently I am the designer who is bored. When I say 'bored' I mean that, while find the work technically challenging and the pay is okay, I really don't know what I'm doing here.

I could probably wile away my time here until I dropped dead. But until that day, I'd still be doing the same things, locked in the same room with the same people, having variations on the same conversations. Then when I did expire my epitaph would be "Dave - does anyone know what he really did?"

So thanks, I'm not sure your article was intended for someone like me in my position, or to elicit such a reaction, but it did! I am out of here.
