Design & Life

Hey guys! Hope you’re all doing well.

As you may be knowing that I’m only 15 and I’m doing web design, only through the marketplaces at the moment. I have plans to extend and start my own design studio by the end of this year. But since I’m in high school yet, I find it difficult to find time for designing. I just can’t handle the freelance workload as well as assignments and exams.

But I want to do a career in web design and wanted to study design from the next year. But my family thinks I’m too young for all this and I should focus on my studies at the moment.

I’m really confused guys!

Please help me out. You people are far more experienced than me and definitely know a hell lot more.

Keep studying and stay young for as long as you can, avoid your own business for a little while

Try to go to some form of tertiary education (uni, tafe, etc..) if you can. Partly because you are forced to learn a whole bunch of very interesting stuff that nobody would ever bother learning on their own, partly for the social experience, and partly meeting quality work contacts you’ll have for the rest of your life.

Thanks for your advice/suggestions. Should stress more on studies for now, really.
