Career Uncertainties?

Question

I'm wondering whether I should pursue a career in Math/Science/Engineering at the University of Rhode Island or a career in the Graphic Design program at the Art Institutes. I do really well in science and math and have recently gotten very SAT scores back, but I'm not sure if that's what will be in the money in a few years. Is graphics more secure jobwise in the future or is being a chemist or computer engineer? Is it worth paying all that money to go to college?

Answer 1

computer engineers make a lot

Answer 2

I believe that education is never a waste of time or money.

If I was to choose, however, I'd lean towards the University of Rhode Island, rather than the Art Institutes. I'd worry less right now about your major, and more about getting the best and broadest education possible.

At the U of Rhode Island, you'll be able to explore a broader spectrum of courses and possible careers than you will at the art institute. Did you know, for instance, that the U of Rhode Island's art department actually has a graphic design concentration? You'll also be able to take courses in your other areas of interest, and try out some new subjects that you may not know about just yet. For example, perhaps you'll take some business courses and discover that marketing is a great way to combine your creative side and your logical side.

Unfortunately, the art institutes will not give you these sort of options - you'll pretty much be limited to art. And, frankly, the quality of education will be probably better at the U of Rhode Island than the art institute.
