Asked what my advice would be to design students today, or any student for that matter, the following two points are my reply:
- Find a career
- Disregard specific advice
A job is a job. Work is work. But a career is something that can allow you to truly leave your stamp on this world.
I’ve never been big on peddling specific advice like “just start freelancing now,” “move to New York City,” or “learn to code ASAP.” Specific advice is, for lack of a better word, too specific.
Everyone is different. Everyone comes from some place. Specific advice leaves out the person. If someone is giving you specific advice, please, disregard.
To the youth out there today trying to make it happen, these two points are what I say to you. Now get after it.
