today we're going to take a brief look how important graphic design degree
actually is obtaining work and then how it is set against the portfolio which
one is more important or necessary
what are the people ask about Easter graphics type of graphic design content
I'm going to make a telegraphic editorial today I did have enough time
to sit down in front of the camera talk about topic of Adelman wines the topics
that I know a lot of you to relate to and that is how important or was well
it's a degree in graphic design I've been really going to set it back quite a
lot of money and it's a lot of time so many people obviously are going to think
is it worth it or not this is something they're going to debate and under on if
you think this fella video we're in front of the camera fucking like this
let me in the comment section below because I will start to incorporate more
videos like this in my weekly graphic design schedule by the way I have five
brothers and others per week from tutorials to speed up videos with
instant tricks for graphic design so subscribe if you haven't done already
and make sure they have that icon people see physical demographic design athletes
Bill Gates dropped out of houses faithful is Microsoft Project it really
left Tennessee State University focus on a media career Steve Jobs dropped out of
Reed College has to be in one semester a month circle unless harder to focus on
Facebook and you can obviously see where these people have gone in their lives
they're billionaires I'm not saying that you should drop out of college or
university I'm just saying that it's not essential success however these people
know graphic designers so we take a look at this industry in particular
as of 2000 of 17 they are whopping 206 thousand people
who are hired as graphic designers in the US alone but instead to increased
its range in 25 thousands by the end of 2018 I'll about 260,000 people 25% of
these people are self-employed so obviously it correctly sign is quite a
highly revered career choice but it is actually necessary have a degree to get
into this field of work let's look at the pros of having a graphic design
degree per second firstly you can have more opportunities most one percent of
employers prefer a candidate in graphic design to have a degree that's quite a
high number this is helped along by the fact that employers see having a degree
as a symbol of dedication and initially become a true graphic designer not only
will it help you have access to more jobs it will also let you act as a
higher paying jobs in assessment it is said that on average you can expect to
have 10,000 more dollars on annual income and have a degree in graphic
design and if you then the last phrase I want to mention is that whilst writing a
new degree in college university you'll be able to sharpen your portfolio and to
really boost the quality of the work in your portfolio because you're working
alongside professionals and leaders in the field however there are many things
you do not learn in university we take in graphic design cords so you can be
things such as dealing with clients quotes the money side of things as well
as fun aspects of using the software we only make designs we do not do
everything we need to know about graphic design in a degree course
I want to refer back to the portfolio side of it for a second it is possible
to get a gradual time job without the degree yes it is of course it is
I have a friend who dropped out of college in the second year of studying
graphic design and even managed to get himself a nice advertising agency job
where he works 9:00 to 5:00 as anyone else but listen something he loves doing
that's graphic design he did this by refining his skills in college for two
years and then dropping out and his quad really was really good to be honest
reviews excellent and he was up today the other solid portfolio of works in
which you could talk about every single project you've done why he did this why
he did that all this represents the so forth you have a great chance of selling
this out as a designer and that's what it comes down to you need to sell
yourself at the designer so if you can speak about your own work of confidence
and you only need we'll be talking about you'll be surprised about how many jobs
you can actually pick up in graphic design without a degree so here are my
final thoughts on this is it essential to have a degree if you want to get
graphic design job no it's not essential but it is essential to have a quality
portfolio of work together graphic adventure yet it is essential obviously
it's better to have those but any one of them is essential and that's something
you need to keep in mind there is one alternative and that is setting up your
own company I did say the start of the video at 25% of hire a graphic designer
at the moment hire themselves it obviously is going to be more risky
and it takes putting up money upfront and you do need to have experience and
connections in the industry to begin with so what do you think about this
topic do you throw that it is essential to have a degree to get a job in graphic
design how important is it and do you have a degree yourself let me know in
the comment section below and give this video a thumbs up if you did enjoy it
have a great weekend and I'm going to be back on when there is more graphic
design tutorials and content so until then design for you today is
