Hey guys I am trying to make a career change from being a financial consultant/analyst to working within the product design field. I currently have a 4 year bachelors in both international relations and business economics. But I am really uncertain on how I should approach this change as I am currently divided between an interest in fashion design (particularly backpacks, menswear & shoes) and an interest in product design (electronic products design such as designing speakers and cellphones).
I understand that these are two different areas of design. But I would really like to learn more about career opportunities in design and get a better understanding of what my own vision is. I would like to merge my experience with analysis and coding with design. Also, I currently live in NYC.
I had a few questions for you guys if you could chime in:
-
Should I get a bachelors or should I get a masters to get a foot in the field (I would prefer to only spend another 2 years in school versus 4)
-
Is a formal degree in design really required? (I have had a few friends say that a degree is not really necessary versus just have experience)
-
Should I get first try to get a related job in the design field before jumping into school?
