• hello. i have a few questions and i am asking for advice. i am a university graduate major MIS, and specialist in networks. i found that i have the imagination of creation in graphics field. the question is it ok  that i enter the graphic design field as a career even i am not a graphic design university graduate? and about the age, i am now 24 old, do i still have the chance ? thank you.

• Answer:

  The field is not something you can step lightly into and be successful at. Because you have no education in the field and Because I have no idea of your artistic ability - I would definitly highly consider an internship with a design firm/type of firm that you see yourself working at - this will give you the "in" that you will definitely need - the type of internship is what is important here, because it will probably help dictate the type of job you will be qualified for - if you do a year or two of that - you should be good to go. 24 is still young - but the sooner the better - so you are not too behind others in your age bracket.
