Design is really a way of life, in my case passed down from my father and great uncle to myself and my sister. If you're a real designer you never really "quit design" because it's always with you in everything that you do. The "web designers" who quit aren't really designers but production people just doing a gig; they are in fact no different than the typesetters of yesteryear. All of the peers I went to design school with may not be graphic designers at this point, but they are all doing something creative with their lives.
