<p>I'll try to make this short.
I just recently graduated high school and I luckily landed a job as a Graphic Designer at a local t-shirt company based on my high school portfolio. I deal with clients and do everything, but it's a low pay because of my age. I'm really lucky to have this job though, because of the experience.</p>
<p>This fall I am starting college and I want to go for Graphic Design of course. Should I get an AS in Graphic Design or should I get a Bachelor's in Graphic Design?</p>
<p>I'm leaning more towards just getting an AS, because it would save me a lot of money and time, and since I already have a job as a Graphic Designer I will have about 2-3 years of ACTUAL on the job experience when I graduate college.</p>
<p>What should I do? A lot of job listings for good paying Graphic Design jobs require only AA or AS degrees + 2-3 years of job experience, which I will have when I graduate with an AS.</p>
<p>I know that Graphic Design is a competitive market, but I just graduated high school and I already have an actual job as a Graphic Designer and I've actually been on 5 interviews for Graphic Design positions before, so I don't think it will be that hard to find a better paying job when I graduate college.</p>
