Is bdes really worth it??
I’ve really wanted to pursue a B.Des, but the fee structure in most colleges is incredibly high, and it's making me second-guess everything.
My parents are now saying that a B.Des isn't even worth the effort or the money. Their main argument is that design isn't exactly a "traditional degree"—they see it more as a skill or a course that you can learn on your own at any point in time, build a portfolio, and still get into the industry.
At this point, I honestly don't know if I should even consider B.Des as an option anymore. When I look at the ROI and the sheer cost of the degree, their logic kind of makes sense. But on the other hand, I feel like I might miss out on the structured learning, college environment, networking, and campus placements
