I was prepharmacy and decided to switch to graphic design. I went through one semester and love/hated it. We had portfolio review and I got in. There was only 11 out of around 40 of us students who made it through. Another friend planned to switch to printmaking and I was determined to make it in, but then towards the end I got really unsure because i'm already a junior and am afraid i'll be stuck in school more than being a 5th year senior and would have bad health like the upperclassmen I've met haha. I wonder, is it worth going through a graphic design degree? or just go with a studio art major degree? I feel lacking because I dont know the programs well or really thought about graphic design before. I work in 2d, 3d, photography, and I dont know what i want to do in my future. All i know is I want to work in advertising, with businesses, with fun community projects etc. A senior designer said it wasn't worth going through. He said to save money and teach yourself. My roommate insists I go with studio, since she said she knows studio artists who do design work. Input?
