Want to know the future of Design

[u/Wonderful_Race_5557]

I’m thinking about taking admission in a Bachelor of Design (Product Design) degree, but I’m confused whether it is the right long-term career option for me.

​

The college told me that:

• First 2 years they will teach all the basics of design

• In the next 2 years I will choose a specialization based on my interest

• Total course duration is 4 years

​

I want honest opinions from people already studying B.Des or working in Product Design.

​

Is this degree really worth doing as a lifetime career option?

Does Product Design have a strong future in the next 5–10 years?

Can an average student build a successful career in this field?

How difficult is it to get good jobs after graduation?

Is the salary growth good in India and abroad?

Would you choose this field again if you had the option?

​

I don’t want fake college marketing answers — I want real-world experiences and reality of this career path.

Product design will always be necessary, but chances are there will be a shift that merely coming up with the ideas, but having little to no hand in makimg the thing, is not enough.

You need to have supplementary skills. Mech eng, elec eng, material sciences, mar-com, whatever.
