Having graduated high school, my original plan was to attend university for a degree in graphic design, which I've been pursuing amatuerly for a few years now. I know the liberal arts degree meme but I felt like this is a more marketable skill, especially for advertising. I was accepted to UH, but I'm taking a semester off to take some core classes at a community college.
Question is, should I give up on that and just go to trade school for welding or some shit? I don't want to be scammed for a degree I might not be able to use.
Is University a Scam?

if you're not a coke-off-a-park-bench hyper-extrovert that knows how to use their contacts for cash, ngmi

I figured. What is the alternative?

Graphic design is an art degree... You can just build a portfolio yourself that would get you a job.
Andrew Flores
Exactly why Im second guessing. I feel like Id be throwing my money away on a degree that wont help me in that field very much

How much does it cost?
University is worth it for STEM or if you're a popular chad doing networking.
For art you'll be better off having a portfolio and doing collabs. College is good for the latter though.

Definitely don't go for graphic design. Only for stem/medical

I was going to go to university, and I completed a year. (CS degree) Decided I’m probably going to drop out to join the national guard. I wanna become an air traffic controller.

Most Graphics design jobs don't require education they just want 3-8yrs experience now. My sister got a job with GD without any relevant degree. She told me these jobs don't exist in most places anymore but because she has other skills in many different areas she has a job.
OP, stay away from this dead end job with no rewards and back breaking student loans. Get a skill that guarantees money.

Wise choice. CS aside from being extremely difficult has been outsourced.
