My illustration degree can open up a lot of doors for me - it's important for me to sit and really understand what kind of opportunities my degree can provide for me. Mostly, it opens the door to creative pathways, however the experience itself can provide a lot to offer.
Completely ignoring the actual subject of the degree, I can look at how my time spent on university can better represent me; any extra-curricular activities can showcase good qualities when looking for my career, even if in the end of it all I decide that being an artist isn't for me.
On the other hand, (the most likely case) I could become the illustrator I wanted to be when I started this course. What creative pathways are open for me as an illustrator? Would I like to live the life of an artist or am I just work for hire, with another income coming from a different source? It is detrimental to my future to sit on these questions before I set in stone what I will do with my degree.
