What's the next step in career? Non ID graduate.
Hi, I graduated from Digital Media program (nothing ID related), got a job in a toy company where I did 3D sculpting, 3D printing and mold casting mostly in the early career. Now it's been 3 years, my daily tasks are no longer designing - I do assistant and operational tasks.
I only realized recently that I'm in the industry called Industrial Design. Plus I want to return to design. Where could I go from this...?
I understand injection molding and plastics but nowhere near engineer level. The 3 years do give me hand-on exp but I feel like I miss out lots of ID core disciplines since I didn't take the program.
I would love to go back to school but I don't think ID degree would help me compete in this job market (I'm 25 btw!). Considering taking Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering.
What might be the best move here? Thank u in advance!
