Alright, I've been crazy busy here so it's taken me a lot longer to follow up than I had planned. First off, thanks for the book recommendation jaydorn. I've had a chance to read through it and there were definitely some aspects of design that Monteiro describes which I find appealing.
I'd really like to be my own boss one day and have some control over the type of work that I'd be doing. It was interesting to see how big of a role business plays in the field. Are there any courses you recommend?
Table 5, which four art schools are you referring? I hadn't thought about being able to skip the foundation year thanks to my BA. I'll have to look further into that. I am not opposed to moving cities for the right job.
If you don't mind my asking, what kinds of projects have you worked on? What's a typical day like for you? Do you ever have trouble finding work? Where do you see the field heading? (These are for anyone who feel like answering)
Honestly, I am not interested in getting a "job." I want something more. Something that I'll love doing. I am not entirely sure that graphic design is for me and that's one of the reasons why I am asking for advice. Before I make the jump to school I want to be 100% sure that it's for me.
I know I can make big money doing what I currently am but that's just not enough. I'd rather make less money and enjoy what I do for a living than go in every day to a job I don't like. At any rate I am too late to apply for this upcoming school year so I am going to continue digging deeper into this and hopefully building on my portfolio.
Thanks, you guys are awesome!
