Question

Hello,
Well once im out of high school I want to successfully get started with Graphic designs,photography,editor basically things related to the Arts industry.
I have a friend who's in my school she's currently a sophomore she creates layouts and graphics and they're very nicely done.She has motivated me to continue my dreams and do something in this industry. For example she does very great graphics and layouts and she's only 15.

I'm 16 currently a Junior in high school.

So,do you think if I learn Html,Css, and more thing related towards the arts media i may get opportunites in the future?

The money is only part of the reason for trying to do any job. If you hate what you're doing, even if you're earning a LOT, it doesn't really make up for it. But if you enjoy your work, you're having so much fun working... So don't fuss too much about that side of things.



Thing is, do you enjoy doing this sort of stuff? If so, you could easily get so good at it that you will reach the top, and the top of any field is pretty good money, plus you will be happy doing it.



Html, css are for web design, which are sort of graphics related, but it's not pure graphics, either. Still, they are useful skills, and will give you a base on which to build your design skills. You will need to add true graphics programs like Photoshop, Flash and so on, but these do cost money.



Chat to your friend about it, if she's doing the sort of thing you are interested in doing. Ask her where she started - she may even give you some tips.



In choosing a career, if you are following your heart, rather than your pocket you are likely to end up better off long term - no point earning loads of money if you have to spend it all on medication for anxiety/depression, is there?



Is there a photography club at the school you could join?
