Kioshi, I am about the last one you should ask for career advice. My degree is in English with art minor! All my training has been on the job, and since I never had a career plan I've had some odd ones (for example, my first was designing exhibits at a museum where I had been volunteer classroom helper).

My only advice would be that whatever you are designing, keep the end user in mind at all times. Learn to think like they do and how people actually use stuff in the real world--this seems to apply whether you are designing an ergonomic chair or a web interface. And learn to justify your decisions to the accountants--this helps ensure your designs get produced with a minimum of aggravation for everyone.

Good luck to you! man I kinda wish I was just starting out again...
