Question:
I’m 23 and I’ve been out of college for a few years…I ended up leaving school because I wasn’t happy living on campus where I was, and I came back home and got a full time job in insurance, which is what I’ve been doing for the past 3 years. I want to go back to school for Digital Media Design (I’ve always been interested in the art field, but I was an English major before I left school). Moore College of Art and Design offers a certificate program at night, it is 8 courses and would take about a year to complete. Or I could go to Temple University’s art school and take classes to get my degree part-time at night…this of course would take years for me to complete. I’m not sure what is the best way to go. I know everyone says it is always better to have a degree than just a certificate, but I know a lot of that depends on the field. Anyone out there work in the Digital Media field and have any advice for me? Thanks.
I'm a graphic designer but I work in the middle east. I'm not sure if my advise would hold for the US.
In my experience the most cruicial part in any art field is your portfolio.
A lot of times, a certificate + 2 pieces of creative works can put a lot of weight than a degree!
Keep in mind that in areas such as Digital Media Design, its creativity that really counts!
Good Luck!
