What would it help with in regards to web design?

I already bought a program called Web Easy Pro 6 but I dont care for the templates because they look old school.

I researched web design, and the career seems to suit me very well. But what I want to know is…would the job get boring? Could I do it all my life? What jobs could I do before web design? Are there other jobs similar to web design? How much education is recommended? Will web design be a good job in 2018-2020? And what are the advantages and disadvantages of the job? Any answers would be great!

And I wanted to know could I still optimally design web pages if I switched from a tower based PC running a Q6600 2.4 quad core with 4 gigs of ram to a mac book pro.

Spyder Imagine LED: 14 inch Night Stick, Rocking Trigger 2.0, Halo (rip drive), spider web designed drop forward, Macroline, Delrin anti-chop bolt, Hybrid regulator, 3000 PSI 47ci Nitro tank (Nitro Duck)

Spyder Xtra: delrin anti-chop bolt, LED Trigger (one stock on Imagine), Custom Hopper (VL Revolution), Rifled barrel (some recon brand)

both are very good guns for someone who just wants to play backyard paintball or go to a field and have some fun. I need to sell them but not sure around what price.

What are some good reasons to hire a college student for small business websites?

Degree in Computer Science provide the tools to get into Web Design and Computer Graphics? http://grantgeorgedesign.com/would-a-b-s-degree-in-computer-science-provide-the-tools-to-get-into-web-design-and-computer-graphics/1409/ http://grantgeorgedesign.com/would-a-b-s-degree-in-computer-science-provide-the-tools-to-get-into-web-design-and-computer-graphics/1409/#comments Sat, 18 Dec 2010 04:29:48 +0000 http://grantgeorgedesign.com/would-a-b-s-degree-in-computer-science-provide-the-tools-to-get-into-web-design-and-computer-graphics/1409/ I was accepted to Texas A&M University in their Computer Science program. The reason I don’t go to a specialized art school is because I am going to join the AirForce ROTC and do athletics in college, hence A&M offers those three areas. Hence, my question is, would an advertising firm or web design company consider a B.S. Degree in Computer Science as an appropriate qualification to be a specialist in web design and computer graphics. Obviously you need a portfolio and knowledge and use of the industry standard of the types of programs that are used, but, this question is more directed towards the education aspect of my career choice?
