Payment by wire transfer (requiring I share my account and routing numbers). Yes? No? Only with ID? Other conditions?

I'm in need of some advice. What would you say is an appropriate amount for a usage fee of your work? If someone wanted to display something you designed in their building, what amount do you think would be appropriate?

    3.1 A professional designer shall work only for a fee, a royalty, salary or other agreed-upon form of compensation. A professional designer shall not retain any kickbacks, hidden discounts, commission, allowances or payment in kind from contractors or suppliers. Clients should be made aware of mark-ups. Ambrose: This paragraph in the standards of professional practice defines the relationship between a designer and a client as a professional relationship that is based on a fee for services (fee, royalty, salary) and a transparent understanding of any indirect compensation the designer is receiving from his or her professional advice to the client.

Much as I love graphic design, I’m really disappointed in the way it played out for me as a profession. Supposedly, if you follow your passion, success and money will come. But after thirty years of employment as an art director, I didn’t get either one. If I could have gotten one of those “dream jobs” working at Pentagram, Landor or some other high profile design firm, I would have said, “Wow, graphic design is the bomb.” But I ended up making mediocre books for a mass-market publisher. Now I have 15+ years to do something with my career and I’m thinking that if this is the best I can get, then I need to find something other than graphic design. It really kills me to come in every day and make make the worst possible design. Can anyone identify with creative burnout?
