Been in the trade since i left shcool (at 14!!)

Left the trade in my mid 20's to join art school where i studied new media / graphic design.

came back to the trade , but i found my learning of visual layout & design very applicable within the tiling trade!!
Sorry I don't follow? It's alarming why?
