I don't think you need school. It's simply just asking yourself why you like something and than designing around those reasons. Only reason for school is to give you projects to work on, which you can just create yourself (albeit hard sometimes ot be motivated to do it, maybe social networks like machines can help motivate).
As far as a plain ol design as a career move I could totally see it becoming the new "fast food" when fast food becomes automatized. Seems like more and more jobs are templated or clipart due to increasing deadlines and client side not giving a shit. It really seems to becoming more of a commodity. Im sure there will be a market for decent pay but it will likely become much smaller do to competition and availability of resource and technology. Much like photography has seen with stock photos and needing to diversify with video offerings.
But I'm probably just a negative nancy that has worked with too many shit people lately.
