I did art in Highschool. Concentrated on Painting, Drawing, and Photography. When we were looking at colleges, most of my friends were looking at Art HighSchools. I didn't think I'd ever be super famous, so I was worried aobut making money. A friend of mine had a brother who went to Carnegie Mellon and told me of this thing called "Design". I thought...."sure".
Design seemed to be a great marrige for me of my love of art, detail, and mathematics and computer science. I wasn't top at either of them, but add them together and I've done really well in design and believe I can be top at that (Interaction design specifically)
I remember a college teacher telling our class they should think about what they want to be if design didn't work out. I thought "Design is my plan if being a rock star or professional wrestler doesn't work out.... if I suck at design I'm fucked"
...so far things seemed to have worked out.
