It's not just in the four years that you are in college. In the four years of college, maybe you are allowed to change in the first one year but after four years in the industry also there are new opportunities but if you had a strong design education, this is where the design education is important not just the skill. If you have a strong design education and if you have your concepts of design in place, understanding of your environment then you can switch, you can learn fashion design and become a fashion photographer. So that broad based understanding of design is important. Today, user experience has become such a hot topic and there are so many people who went to college when there was no user experience but they had the ability to learn. They had a good fundamental understanding of design then you can always continue to learn. Learning to learn is also something that's extremely important. In design, all of us need to do something to keep ourselves updated, World is changing so fast, if we don't update ourselves we will be left behind and not feel relevant anymore.
