What I have learned from the research is that the design field is a high paying job that is very competitive and you need to be very good at what you do to get in. One thing is a great portfolio is more likely to get you hired over having a 4.0 GPA you could have a 2.0 and still get hired if your work is great. I found that just having a bachelor's in business side of design will earn you 60,000 dollars more than if you don't. I also learned that a bachelor's is pretty much required for a job in this industry as not having one is harder to get a job than if you do. I also saw that this industry is growing fast with 600 new job every year in the field. I have love for both print and video but would perfer a job in print over video as shoting the film and then editing is a lot of work and print is easy to get more work done in less time. Also I love photography.

  1. I agree that grades aren't 100% that you need for the design industry but an exceptional portfolio. That 4.0 will help though if you are competing against someone with a like portfolio as yours though.

    Been great to have you in some classes. How much longer are you around?
