I’m not in trans design so you should go over to that section to post this again.
When I was in school I understood there to be around 0 - 5 job openings a year designing cars, but most all trans design students do get jobs.
Crazy hot sketching skills are always in demand, and if your flexible enough to work in a non-car (boating, mass transit, aftermarket/custom, cycles etc…) you should have no problem paying off the loans.
