The design / multimedia field is just really oversaturated right now. You have to be really talented and really enjoy it in order to make it in this field.

I hate to say it but if you see all these colleges begin to advertise a field, right now criminal justice and radiography seem to be popular right now, I would avoid the field. If you take a class and there are say 30+ other students you are going to be competing against them for jobs.
