College Options

[bojangles_8686]

Alright so I have been taking gen ed classes and now I am taking engineering classes but dont think I want to do engineering anymore. It is hard for me to keep up with all the formulas and conversions and equations because Im not much of a math guy. I was talking to a friend who is going to goto Art Institue of Washington for Graphic Desgn, and really got into it. I have always had a thing for drawing and editing pictures on the computer, but never thought of making a career out of it. Now heres the decision...

Do you think I should really take a look at this Graphic Design and stop trying for engineering? Also, this Art Institute costs around the same as the college I was planning on for engineering.

Any input would be appreciated..

Im in graphic design and all I have to say is that it is competitive. Alot of people think that design is not your typical art so they dont need drawing skills or original thinking but i know that with these skills, you are way ahead of the game. If you are serious about switching from engineering I would consider how you look at the world. Do you see logos, websites, other designs and think "how could i make that bettter" than perhaps this is your field. You cannot force creativity though.
