Heart Print
If a person's heart's desire is to be a graphic and print designer, should they ditch it for fear of being out
of a job to keep a roof over their head? This sounds so much like a great career that honestly, I will admit does interest me, but the job prospects don't look good so I'm a little scared and thought Information Technology was the better route. I even took a career assessment test which pointed out that I was more of the creative type so....I don't know.
There is a LOT of competition in that field, with thousands of young people graduating from schools and searching for jobs, willing to work for peanuts.
To find a real full time job that pays a wage that will support a family is somewhere between tough and impossible.
The best way to earn a living is to establish Your Own business (part time, of course) and build a client base. The graphic arts is one business where quality counts and word of mouth means everything. It's a small community. Everybody knows everybody. If you do good work, word will get out. If your work is not up to par, the same thing will happen. Just one "Aw, sh!t" will send you back to the bottom of the heap.
I would say get the IT training first, so you have a fall back plan. Then go for your dreams.
