When did you realize drawing is a complete meme and isn't needed in design at all?

As long as you can express your ideas somewhat coherently through sketches you're fine.
Sometimes when I'm working on logos I wish I could draw better, or create nice hand-lettering. There's lots of areas of design that don't require drawing but there are definitely a few that can benefit from it, but it's not like you'll be at a severe disadvantage if you can only do basic sketches. You just have to choose your areas of focus around your strengths.

You know I planned this to just be a shitposting thread but that's honestly a very heartening and well meaning response.
And I completely agree with you. I can create layouts, animations, banners but there's always been a few things I've been not so great at namely 'handmade' stuff. Creating a logo from fonts in illustrator is one thing but I've always wanted to be able to do it freeform as if it was a sketch on paper. I can definitely see there's holes in my skillset and I hope I can fill them one day.

How did you get in? Was it because you had some connections at the company? Would they have hired you if you had no university diploma? Is it a stressful environment working at that level?
