I remember I was interviewing someone a few years ago with a co worker of mine. We asked the interviewee if she had any questions of us, and she asked “In your opinion, what is the most important skill an Industrial Designer needs to have?”. My coworker replied with the most brilliant and apt answer, he said “Savvy”. If you are savvy, as in all every profession, you will do fine. The design of your career will be your biggest and longest running project.
