Are your parents graphic designers or something? Otherwise I can't imagine why they would think that. Who the hell thinks

How is this going to convince anyone to do graphic design?
>>
>>54396135
You'd be fucking surprised. It's all I would hear in high school from teachers especially the computer teachers even the principals.

Back in high school all the computer nerds and jocks did graphic design cause "I'll make tons of do$$h!" The math nerds and future engineers did robotics.

I think CS is becoming the new Graphic Design in high schools now.

This is a stupid idea that floats around. The issue isn't that there are so many graphic designers, it's that so many people go into the field/get a degree in graphic design that are fucking awful. I have a degree in graphic design and about 100 of the 110 people on my course were fucking terrible. I now own a design firm, this idea about graphic design not leading anywhere is a load of rubbish. Employers want someone who is capable, not someone with a degree.

Why should you major in CS if you're "good with computers"? CS isn't about installing Adobe Reader.

Let's say that I'm getting and I'm the only person (not bluffing) in the class that's pretty much ahead. Pretty interested in it and all.

I can't expect a job in this business but at the very least what I've been capable of doing kinda makes my teacher get interested more in my progress than anyone else's.

Should I continue this path? I mean I always heard things like "go anon, do whatever you're really good at" but some things seem like even if you got good at them, they would get you nowhere. Even under the circumstances you describe.

I mean I don't want to be a debbie downer to myself but shit man look at this thread. It's like being described as a clown.

Graphic design and the arts in general are a horrifically over saturated market now. You're fucked if you're not connected deeply from day one.
>>
>>54398135
I already work retail so I can't really downgrade unless I'm willing to settle down and kill myself. It's just a course offered for like $50. And pretty much all A+ are only offered at college.

Also are you implying everyone on /g/ is smart enough to earn the A+?

I would certainly hope so. Unless it has changed significantly it was a pathetically easy test. I spent a weekend brushing up and passed both tests with an almost perfect score.
