Does anybody have any advice or guidance? I love watercolour, and there will be photography as well as general art subjects such as 3D work and sketching etc. I need to get a reasonably paid job to help pay for my family's up keep (son and partner)I didnt do much art at school so was never advised on careers in this area Reply to this Question |
Fancy yourself as an career advisor?

reader, anonymous, writes (9 July 2006): There are many jobs if you have a degree in art/design, so long as you build up a good portfolio of work, some of which is commercially slanted (e.g. some web design, some product photography/design, etc), you will stand a good chance of getting employment. Good designers are hard to come by, but poor ones are ten a penny. You need to distinguish yourself by the work you produce. Good luck!
