Graphic Design Students: Talented but Broke

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I've been accepted to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena California and I am ecstatic. Yay! However I am conflicted about the investment (32,000/yr), which I would have to be getting loans for. Super broke.</p>

<p>I need feedback from other Graphic Design students that are attending or have graduated from a private art school. I need to know if the jobs and loan repayment is consistent with the amount spent on tuition.</p>

<p>Anyone have any insight on job prospects after graduation and if it was all worth the debt headache?!</p>

<p>The best friend of my DD2 was attending the Columbus (OH) School of Design. She just left and will be attending the local CC. She realized two things: 1) what was a fun thing to do (art) was not as fun when you do it all the time with deadlines and 2) she’d have to pay back those costs with a very uncertain income.</p>
