Yesterday, I was been given a "reality check" on whether I should pursue a Design Course. The truth is, Singapore is not the place to be talking about "DESIGN". Taking Design course is like flushing your money to the toilet. When you come to the working world, there is no "Creative Design", you design what your boss or client like, not what you like.

A very dim future for a designer. Check this out: http://www.happeepill.com/home/designhell/dhell.htm

A whole lot of truth about being a designer. The truth is, you can't survive in Singapore as a designer, you will starve and suffer in Singapore's practicality.

Not just that, I listened to 98.7FM while on the bus after work. Their topic was "Passion or Being Practical". Indeed, most of them go for "Practical" while few of them go for passion.

There is one which I remembered clearly that he said he was a cartoonist for Suria Channel. However, after his contract ended, he did not receive any re-contract from mediacorp and now he was working as a security guard! OMG, this is the REALITY CHECK.

Another commented that in Singapore, "No Money No Talk". Damm True Man!

I think it's really fated that I get to hear all of these in just a day, can you believe it? Maybe I should just treat design as an interest, not as a career.

Ok. Maybe I will consider taking a Business course....Hmmm.....
