Top Five Degrees For Shy People
Degree # 5 - Graphic Design
Are you a creative type who also loves the logical yet imaginative world of computer work? A degree in graphic design might scratch both your creative and shy itches.
In fact, says the College Board, as a graphic design student, you'll learn to use cutting-edge computer programs, as well as the basics of good design. And luckily for shy students, speech and debate are not on the College Board's list of typical courses. Courses in production design, typography, Photoshop for designers, and the history of graphic design are common.
Shy-Friendly Factor: "I would imagine that you're working for a majority of the time alone or in small groups on a creative project that you get to express yourself through. That would be great for a shy student," says Anthony.

On the other hand...if you are freelancer, being outgoing and having networking skills is a must. Plus you need to be extroverted enough to present your work to clients, and face down criticism etc.

How it most likely looks like,
bald guy: Move it to the left a bit down. OK now try moving it to the right. Wait no left again. What do you think? I think left. Keep it there. For now.
Woman with glasses1: Add some more green to the background.
Guy with glasses: I'm not sure that headline is easy to read. Can you make it bigger? Also make sure that there is space for paragraph that i will write when you are finished, so you can insert it. Wait how about this...
Guy in suit: Were doing some great work here guys. Haha who knew i could draw so well, and look now that my idea is getting executed, i might as well do some more art direction.
Bald guy: Haha dont take my job please.
Guy in suit: Hey, since we have only spent a few hours making this amazing leaflet, how about you give me an alternative? Maybe spice it a bit up, unleash your creativity within the guidelines.
Woman 1: Yes good job, finish this asap and then send us the pdf.
Woman 2: Let me just add after you finish doing that make sure you start working on the second design.
Bald guy: Wait. Can you move the heading a bit up, try twisting it a bit. To the left no wait... To the right.. yes

At the design college I went to, a speech class was mandatory. And it was guaranteed that you were presenting a project to your peers in some class at least every two or three days.
When I graduated, I started working for an agency and right off the bat I had to give presentations. One after the other. CEOs... board members in meeting rooms type of stuff. It's a nerve-wracking setting for even the best speakers... nevermind shy people.
If you're a mediocre designer, you're probably doing freelance work for your friends, or working in-house, and won't ever have to present anything at all. And this is the type of designer this article is probably referring to. Which is just ignorant.

Online Degree #4 - Graphic Design
If you prefer to express yourself through art, rather than words, then you might be inclined to earn an online bachelor's degree in graphic design.
"Their art and the use of the computer may make them feel free to really express themselves," says Katsuki, adding that an online degree in graphic design allows introverted students to relish in their comfort zone. She does add, though, that "because you're working on projects, you'll have to interact with people in this degree, but not on a large scale."

Degree Details: Commonly offered courses in graphic design degree programs include typography, production design, Photoshop for designers, and more, according to the College Board. What's more, when you earn this degree online, you could work on your designs whenever and wherever you want. In other words, far from people!
Potential Career Path: According to the U.S. Department of Labor, "a bachelor's degree in graphic design or a related field is usually required" for graphic design positions. And what might introverts fancy about this career? Well, it could be the fact that unless they work as part of a design team, graphic designers might be able to work solo.

It really isn't suitable for shy people. People who are happy working a solitary existence perhaps (if a freelancer) but shy no.That held me back when I first set up alone. Quickly realise being shy is a bad thing in this industry. Confidence is vital and if you are happy with the work you are presenting that always helps.
