My advice is to work with a client, ensure that you both share the same vision and idea for the design and work on communicating how your work meets the requirements of the brief

it's not always that simple though is it ?
you need to satisfy a brief but at the same time, you should be happy with the work you do as it's all self promotion.
creatives live and die (not usually literally) by the work they do, so if a client basically wants to hire you to be a software operator and not a designer, i'd fuck them off. you don't hire an architect just to produce blueprints do you ? - for that you'd only need a draughtsman.
having said that there's always bills to pay - it's weather you are prepared/need to sell out or not.
