I had to choose between working towards a degree in music (lifelong enjoyment), and working towards a degree in commerce (stability). I chose commerce because I would probably die from the lack of viable options available to me in music.
I don't know if that would apply to graphic design though. I'm seeing all sorts of commercials dealing with graphic design and the kinds of jobs you can pursue with that kind of degree.
My friend told me her view on a commerce degree: (with no offence to anyone) "taking business in post-secondary education wouldn't be too good, since you really learn business by going out into the real world and doing it yourself. Textbooks and theory can only take you so far, but real world experience is what the most successful businesspeople have."
I see what she meant by that, but I'm not switching majors anytime soon. It was just an interesting argument to me. I'm pretty sure that graphic design is far from the bottom of the barrel when it comes to job opportunities. I'd pick that over business.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
