If you have manages to spend some good time is designing industry, you must be aware of the fact that as designers, you have to deal with all sorts of clients. Dealing with higher quality clients is not an issue but if you have to deal with lower-quality clients, you would be torturing yourself. I might be sounding mean, but this is true. Their main focus would be paying you as less as possible and they would want you to put in double amount of effort which is unfair to you as a designer. They would want you to be quick and since they are low quality clients, you will have to create something you don’t want to and something you don’t enjoy either. Added onto this, this would make a bad impression on your portfolio and you would not want that at any cost.
