You don’t necessarily need a college degree; you could establish a portfolio over time and build your network / experience to be your background. You may miss out on some concepts, but you can learn them in other ways over time or with certifications and self study. Probably a good trade off for no student debt.

Conversely, GenAI is rocking so many fields, it’s definitely stretching digital artists very hard. You should learn how to do your own original work when possible and when to incorporate AI to improve your productivity so you can compete.

Ultimately, your success will (probably) stem from how able you are to network and build a client base or embed yourself within an agency doing the same.

Best of luck, and hope that helps.

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.
