Well I have been using Photoshop for almost three years now, most of that time was spent practicing website, logo, and various other graphic design, and I am more-or-less fluent in HTML and CSS. However, I still do not feel ready to start professionally. Maybe it is because I do not have any qualifications in website design, I dropped out of school due to language problems, and taught myself everything I know, but I just do not feel ready. That said, after taking a look at some website designs being sold here and at various other forums, a lot of people obviously don't care about their experience, yet they are the ones making the money. :| So yeah, original point of the thread: How many years / what sort of experience did you have before starting out professionally? I hope your responses will help me out, Greeny.
