I just got laid off from my job a month ago because our company got bought out, so, I was planning to go to school for visual communications/webdesign

I have a full pel grant (free school) and I can get unemployment ($400 a week) for a year just as long as I’m in school.

I just got a job working as a plumber, getting trained which will take up to 6 months, then I will be making decent money (40k- 50k a year) that my friends mom hooked me up with…..should I stick it out and learned the trade and then go to school next year? Or should I take advantage of the $400 a week and free school while I can and do that now? Plumbing sucks ass but good money, I don’t know that much about the visual communications/webdesign market,

I’m pretty good at graphic design and have been doing it for about a year…..i love designing and everything to do with media, i jsut dont want to be making $30k a year for the rest of my life because there isnt that much demand.....but i know i dont want to be digging ditches and playing in shit making only making $50k a year forever.

Any advice? Anyone here in the media/graphic/web/marketing realm?

Designers these days are a dime a dozen. But, you could go to school learn what you need for free then maybe get a better paying job like plumbing or something and do design on the side until you can stand on your own.

Go with what you love to do, the money will follow. If you don't like plumbing, don't do it just because you think the money might be good. Graphic desing only pays $30k a year? I would think there is mor potential in it then that?

You can get Pell grants and living assistance grants to cover electric/rent/etc: you have an interest free time ater 1 year to repay your loans . Go to www.pellgrants.com and governmentassitanceforcollege to see what you qualify for;. Good luck with your endeavors...

do you like creativity and uncertainty, or do you like stability and certainty better?

Like BW1 said, do what you love. Money means nothing when you're miserable.

get the plumber to pay you under the table while collecting the unemployment

Do what makes u happy at the end of the day. How's that?

Personally - i'd pick school and partying and getting laid over fixing toilets. You can still do that shit at 50.

plumbing ... there's money in that shit

going to school for visual anything web design is a bad move, unless your are the 1337est of coders and know front end/back end and your shit is top shit.

If you like computers go for networking or management degree
