    Hi guys. I have been trying to break into IT for along time, with no such luck. So, am thinking of doing a Graphics Design course (at this place: http://www.hsi.ie/index.php?ID=26&type=evening&CID=118 ). I have little experience with DTP.

    Has anyone any advice on how hard it is to get a job in this area? I would mainly be looking in the mid-west. I would then have that course done but no real DTP experience. Has anyone any advice before I go and pay €600 for this course? Anny questions I should be asking myself?

    Well newspapers seem to value page layout people (not strictly graphic design but not unrelated) and there's publishing, advertising, marketing - both in-house and agency. I think it would be a great skill to have - you should go for it.

    Graphic design would certainly be a nice skill to have but unless you got a great eye for it and can turn out high quality work/ quickly don't expect to make a great career out of it.
