Should designers learn? Yes, yes they should. But the real question is how. How should designers learn their craft? What prepares a designer and gives them the skills they need to be successful for todays jobs? How about those of the future?

There's no shortage of options out there. College degrees, bootcamps, online certificate programs and, of course, the self-taught route. All distinct paths to try and create a successful career. Tom and Craig get into it from their two distinct backgrounds.

Here are some highlights from the discussion—

Education highways & scenic routes
Bootcamp scepticism
New education business models
Self-reliance when self-taught
Mentors, and why people are important
Investment in the soft skills
Emoji miscommunication (👍🏼😅)
