@degreefree: Replying to @CHILL source: I got into to a chartered public art school for illustration and was a commissioned painter. That did not fit my needs. #thedegreefreeway #thedegreefreewaybook #degreefreelaunchprogram #degreefree #degreefreejobs #degreefreecareers #degreefreepodcast #degreefreemovement #degreefreework #jobs #careers #college #education #highschool #collegealternative #collegealternatives #studentloans
Me! Graphic designer. You do not need a 4 year college. Portfolio and connections.

Have you thought about adapting this for adults who want to change careers but don’t want to go back to school? (Or can an adult use the current one for that purpose?)

As an illustrator/graphic designer/animator. Get a business degree if you're gonna get a degree.

I have a bachelor of science degree in graphic design. I don’t have loans and I make almost 6 figures. It really depends on the job, and location.

Yes but creatives often need the studio spaces with the professional equipment to learn said skills, and they need the benefit of critiques from an expert. How would they go about that independently?

I went back to art school after an 11 year break, not really to learn the skills but mostly to gain networking and exposure in my chosen field.

W2 jobs do exist for illustrators, but I hire based on portfolios, not degrees. With the rise of AI, I am very worried about future illustration students.

Ad someone who went to collage to be an illustrator and graphic designer. Art school is more than just getting a job and "buying a degree" this allows you further your exposure to art, design, and

As someone with a degree in illustration, I wish I didn’t have a degree in illustration.

“Buy a degree” I love that mindset!! Almost 40y/o and decided to go into a trade after hs, I wish we had this info like how to navigate and leverage options. I’m still clueless yet abundantly educated

What they need to think about isn’t the entry level job it’s the job they will be promoted into. Marketing Manager, Director… and those jobs want degrees.

might also be worth pointing out that AI has already started to encroach on these creative jobs...20 years from now, these types of jobs just may not exist 🤔

Do you have recourses for individuals who have worked in a degree + license field (mental health) &are now looking to change focus/field not licensed?

Illustrators don’t need a degree but people who are not self motivated can really benefit from the community and knowledge gained from a college illustration program.

side note, it is highly discouraged to illustrate for people before they have submitted to the publisher, for a handful of reasons.

Depends, if they want an long term career, art school. A-list art schools feed right into major agencies. Much like business schools. If not art as a career, it's a rough road to just be an artist.

I’m a somewhat famous illustrator. It’s helpful to study illustration if she wants it as a career. She’ll need a business degree as well. Preferably accounting or trading.
