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?

Can someone explain to me in simpler English what rule 3.1 in the AIGA code actually means? Thanks a million.

    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?
