From business management to design... why? Because I'm a moron.

Who gives a flip. None of it really matters once you've been working @2 years. And if it does.... 😬

I switched from theater lighting and design to graphic design. I didn't like the Drama. 😭🙄😁

I flip flopped a bunch. Started off as engineering then chemistry maybe one or two other things before dropping out and returning a decade later and quickly decided on advertising

Started with graphic design, went to marketing, got a Communications degree. And now I use all 3 of those areas of study. And the degree means dick. Experience wins.
