Fine Arts Degrees Really ARE Useless, If We're Being Honest
Manage episode 414770382 series 3505771
Uncovering a dusty congratulations note from my graduation triggered not just nostalgia, but an entire episode's worth of discussion with my guest, Jayvn. Are graphic design degrees still relevant? Should you even consider college anymore? The conversation gets real as we consider the possibility that graphic design might be evolving from a stand-alone career into a versatile skill set necessary for many modern job roles.
The job hunt for newly-minted designers can feel like hacking through a jungle with a blunt machete. This episode peels back the curtain on the hustle needed to leap from the safety of formal education into the professional arena and the grit it takes to carve out a career in this oversaturated field.
The real juice, though, is in our dialogue about coupling a creative degree with a practical one—think business or coding—to cushion your bank account. Join us for this honest exchange, where we weigh the scales of passion against profit and chart a course for a fulfilling creative voyage.
