Would a design school really be enough education?

    I'm assuming that an education from Landing, Westlawn, or YDS, although rewarding, might not be enough of an education to be able to stand aloine. Am I correct in assuming this? I was always under the impression that the aforementioned schools were more suplimantary than anything else, and that an engineering degree would be recomended as well.

    The education these schools offer is pretty comprehensive. Many of the people who take them already have degrees, but many don't. I didn't. I eventually finished up a BS, but long after I took the Westlawn Course. Also some of these schools offer a degree course by partnering with colleges. Check out all the options first.
