I think that depends on what your ultimate goal is as a professional. Remember, design is not just CADing up parts. Design is discovering what to design in the first place. Unraveling and defining the who, what, where, why, when, and how of a product. The most beautifully sculpted surface isn’t worth a damn on the wrong product, or if it does not embody the right brand ethos, or connect with the larger culture around it. Never mistake a tool with a result.
Sure you can get a job, but will you have the foundation necessary to grow into the kind of profesional you would like to be in 10-20 years. This is a marathon, not a sprint. In the last fifteen years I’ve seen people take short cuts, get great immediate results, and then find themselves hitting a glass ceiling. I’ve seen others take their time, what seemed like steps backward, only to continue to rise as they progressed.
Construct a path to your future self.
