Talking myself out of it? Not necessary, just taking a rational approach to the situation. These design school’s aren’t cheap, in fact, they’re more expensive than most regionally accredited universities, so it sort of begs the be questioned and examined more carefully (IMO) - their tuition seems to be on a constant rise and I doubt employment numbers are increasing at the same rate.
As much as I’d love to do a program out of the US, due to language barriers, I probably won’t go through with it. I’m sure this is a long shot, but do automotive companies hire designers from non-industrial design backgrounds (graphic design, fine art, etc.) ? I’m thinking about going into our school’s Graphic Design program (BFA) as it seems to be very good - plus as a fall back I could always do freelance work, work at an ad agency, design websites or even work for myself. Although I tend to think in a 3D median, I do pretty well in 2D.
Time to flip a coin?
