-: That student is in school right now,
I would say to them, number one, besides the design classes
that you're taking, most importantly, take a writing class,
take an English class.
Learn how to communicate in writing.
And number two, take a business class.
Learn how to read a balance sheet; why?
Because these components come up in every business.
And, if you have very good writing skills,
communication skills, that is one piece of information that,
they don't really talk about that much,
but that helps you in your career.
You may be a great designer, but if you can't communicate,
and you can't talk to your client,
or your peers, or your boss,
and you can't take notes, or write a good business letter,
it sets you back.
It puts you in a niche.
By having these other skills, it just opens the doors
to all avenues.
