Hello everyone. I have made some posts in other categories the last few days since I am currently attempting to find a new major. My dream is to become an architect, but I was denied from a B.Arch program, which means now I can only really go for a masters after getting another degree. I have been searching some science majors but I haven’t found anything I like. A long time ago I wanted to to engineering, but eventually I decided I wouldn’t like it because it lacks the major creative aspect I enjoy.

Recently I looked into an Industrial Design program at a college I am thinking of transferring to. I know Industrial Design isn’t explicitly a normal form of engineering, but this is the only place I can think of posting this since the degree is under the college of engineering technology. I know it involves a good amount of engineering, art and design courses, which I would like. But I am worried about getting into the program. It seems pretty exclusive, and since I was denied from an architecture program, I have a feeling the same would happen here. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

Also, what is the career outlook for ID? Is it even worthwhile to major in this, or will it be a degree that will lead me to a low-level job?
