That pretty much sums up the feelings that the consultants on this
list had when we started our businesses (many of us over a decade
ago). Welcome to our world.
You'll want to find a balance between billable time with clients and
time spent with software and hardware manufacturers helping them make
their products better. I try to be a good steward for the end user and
send detailed suggestions (complete with UI mockups) to manufacturers
so that they might make their products more intuitive for the common
user. Face to face dialog, when possible, is always good. Beta testing
is exhaustive work but when done exceptionally well, is beneficial for
all in the long run. One has to pick and choose areas to donate to and
make a living at the same time.
Recommending smart, elegant solutions that work well with a minimal
amount of user intervention is a big part of bringing color management
to the masses. Color consultants absorb the headaches so others don't
have to. Making it (relatively) easy for other people is satisfying
work. Cheers!
