Which course has better salary prospects?

Tushar, Design is a field that is age old and has been evolving every year like science. Sometimes student Artists are too much enamoured by Fine Arts preventing them to look objectively at Design. They must read this <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/SXc9GD" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>http://bit.ly/SXc9GD</a>. Again like science it pays to be at the cutting edge. For e.g. science students do better if they go for CS or IT since that are areas where development is taking place rapidly. Similarly in Design the cutting edge areas are UID/ UXD, 3D Printing, Immersive Technology, Augmented Reality, 3D Projection etc, besides of course Game Design &amp; Animation. Of course at the top of the pile lies Concept Designing (usually reserved for writers and visionaries) - these people are required by Event Companies, Animation Studios, VFX Studios, &amp; of course Game Studios. At this stage, you may want to understand the creative world and the careers it offers. There are many careers for the creative/ artistic people. Interiors, textile as well as Web Design rely on the same skills - your layout skills and color sense. Journalism also is at this level and relies on your language skills &amp; knowledge of history and current affairs. A little higher perches Graphic Design, Fashion Design, jewellery design, Acting, &amp; Fine Arts which rely on one of your artistic skills - sketching &amp; imagination. At a similar level perches VFX as well as Motion Graphics which rely on one of your artistic skills - Cinematographic skills &amp; imagination. Then come careers like Animation, Film Making, Game Design which rely on multiple talents like your authority over sketching, acting, direction, voice, sound, writing, storytelling and problem solving skills etc. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, vfx, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world &amp; hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers. Wish you the best for your career. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

Hi Tushar, I would suggest you to decide any course depending on your inclination and career goal. If you choose based on your interest and strengths, you will find that you will perform much better and will be able to get good opportunities in whichever field you choose. If, on the other hand, you choose based on prospects of the field alone, you might find plenty of opportunities but you won’t be able to make use of these opportunities. As you have posted this question in designing so the options available for you are Interior Designing, Fashion Designing, Textile Designing, Jewelry Designing. Salary depends on various parameters such as size of the organization, profile, qualification, experience etc. To give you a general idea; A fresher can earn around Rs 15,000 to 20,000 per month. Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful. Wish You Luck!
