The most important is your own atitude... not a college school. I'm designer too, studying not famous college.

Be a designer really need hardworking, after graduated, salary designer almost same like normal clerk but work is more than normal people, such as if you successful get in Advertising Firm, sometime really need to work until mid nite or even stay overnight.

The salary designer is depend of your design skill & experience.

For my own opinion, better choose small design firm, more change to work varieties of job & more change to learn the skill such as output, FA, design....

By the way good luck for you!

Hope my own experience can share with you!
