I have almost 20 years experience as a graphic designer (in-house and ad agency) working on big projects and brands. Would it be worth it to get a masters in design management?

I dunno, does anyone care about what degrees we have once we’re not in our 20’s anymore? I barely even look at schooling on someone’s resume if they’re not interns or juniors

I don’t think it’s a bad idea if you want to move toward a Managenent direction. I wonder though, if there other more short-term alternatives besides a Masters Degree. You want the practical knowledge, not a fancy ( and most times useless) degree

I’m currently a Sr. Design Manager at work and have worked as a CD before in a tech startup (my book of work is massive from print, interactive, online digital, video and event design). I feel like it is more a point of having the piece of paper now.

If you want to teach, yes! It not kinda a waste as a career augmentation

I just interviewed with a design director who was about 24, quit high school at 16 to work at his dad’s small motion graphics agency. Since then he has become the Director of a couple companies... I don’t know if anything means anything anymore...

That said I am seriously considering a PhD in educational technology...

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
