Design ur career

Do you know that 95% of the students are not even sure what a designer actually does to earn a living? Or what are his / her daily routines, work schedules or more importantly how do they design? This also means that 95% of the students also do not know whether they want to become designers or not. Now, since the parents are not truly aware of this field as a career, they are not too sure whether their child should even be thinking of becoming a designer. This brings us to another important conclusion that those who do join any designing colleges do so by default i.e. once they get thru the entrance tests, they get tempted to join. So the question that arises is “Who really has the ability to become a good designer or to join prestigious institutes like NID/ NIFT. etc.?”
70% of students @ skool wan to becm doctors or engineers or do MBA. Rest 29% of them are not sure and though they have an inclination towards design or art, hv just too many other options in their minds. And only 1% are really keen and focused about Design as a career.
Even if you are in the 29% category, you have a very good chance of clearing the entrance exams for these design institutes. You do not hv to be exceptionally brilliant in academics, if u hv a unique way to look at things, an open mind, if you are a last page scribbler and have a desire to make it big on your own, but do not know how. You have to ask yourself a logical question “If I am interested in curing diseases, I would want to become a doctor some day. What would I do if I have to become a designer some day? The answer is simple. If you think you enjoy meeting people, noticing what type of garments they wear, what looks good on them and what not, you enjoy it when your room is being painted anew, you love it when your friend wears old kick knacks as jewelery, well, u r the kinda person these institutes would be looking for. Al just needed s some focused guidance from the experts.
