That's what I realised aswell, but it's not doing 'nothing' is it... you spend a lot of time building pages and stuff, but you don't really learn anything useful other than basic html, image editing and maybe a bit of basic scripting - if that. I think one good way to stay in the business is to make it secondary to learning programming or design or something to do with it in depth, then if all else fails you still have something to show for the time invested that can be used elsewhere.
