Later on, when I became serious about design in high school I go around finding local coffee shops that just opened and needed flyers, signage, etc.
So I guess that would be...about 10 years...I'm 24 now...sheesh time flies!

edit: Oups, just read the topic a bit more *g*. I've began working with photoshop with 16-17 years. I never liked to draw in school so art wasn't something which interested me.
Now I'm 24 and love to do some artwork, skins and websites :-] Thats all

I started playing with Windows Notepad in 1992, and making really ugly HTML pages - but Hey - I have never used FP in my whole career so that is something to be proud of...L O L I taught myself to code with the Netscape "tutorial on HTML" and used the Bellsouth Netscape browser to make stuff.... just stuff.
Got hired by a search engine company, doing webmaster junk in notepad, learned Phototshop (this was in 93 btw) - then started doing my own thing. I spent a few months on site with a Search Engine Optimization (98) company, then as a Creative Director for an online Medical Firm (99) - never worked for anyone since... just little ole me.
Learned Illustrator in 1999 when I needed to make a logo for a job (Art Deco Hotels - its in my port on my site) but I don't do logos ever now... I have others to do them.
Learned CSS in 1999 - and now do full CSS designs I also spend WAY too much time assessing HijackThis Logs for people who just don't understand that Hotbar is BAAADD~ L O L
So that is me in a walnut shell

online gaming began to consume a considerable amount time, webdesign was out of the picture
geocities got very boring and the ads were very discouraging to me. A knight-i call him, in shining armour... let me host off of a subfolder on www.gamecodes.com
I built a page for him in return all about game code links with a 3D ball menu.
To him, webdesign was just a hobby. To me, webdesign was a never ending passion.
in the gaming era I was lead into warez by downloading cracks / patches which lead me to envy alot of the souped up busy looking browser hungry warez sites.. filthy stuff
I began to learn photoshop out of interest and began using it heavily. Then came illustrator, which lead me on to my cleaner designs.
after years and years of portfolio working on a subfolder on www.gamecodes.com/beckner , i decided to register www.pixelbobby.com and make something worth seeing. (personal opinion)
I am going to York College of Pennsylvania later on this month to pursue a degree in graphic design
my portfolio was accepted 1 of 25 out of 1000 heads.
I know you didn't ask for a bio but this was definitely the extent of my learnings by means of graphics and webdesign.- barely scratched the surface...
